OM’s fast super telephoto zoom

The latest great white zoom is the 50-200mm f/2.8 in a Micro Four Third mount for £2999

OM System has launched a professional-grade super telephoto zoom that’s perfect for wildlife or sports shooters. The £2999 M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO delivers an equivalent field of view of 100-400mm with a constant f/2.8 aperture. And this can extend to a remarkable 800mm equivalent when paired with the 2x Teleconverter MC-20.

Built-in image stabilisation works with in-body five-axis sync IS to deliver up to seven stops of compensation. Close-up work is also supported, with a maximum image magnification of 0.5x (35mm equivalent), giving macro-like potential alongside distant reach. The lens features robust weather-sealing to suit its outdoor focus. We’ve tested it so watch out or it in a future issue.
