OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO Lens (Micro Four Thirds)

Flexible Focal Length and Bright Design

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO from OM SYSTEM delivers a remarkable 100-400mm equivalent focal length in a compact, hand-holdable package—ideal for wildlife, sports, and adventure photography. Its standout feature is the constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range, offering exceptional versatility in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Whether you're tracking fast-moving subjects at a distance or isolating a subject with beautiful background blur, this lens provides the reach and control needed for professional-level results. Advanced optics, including low dispersion and high refractive index glass elements, ensure sharpness and color fidelity, while the ZERO II coating reduces flare and ghosting when shooting in bright or backlit conditions.

High-Speed Autofocus and Powerful Sync IS

Engineered for action, this lens features a fast and highly responsive autofocus system, perfectly suited for fast-paced subjects like birds, athletes, or fleeting wildlife moments. Compatible with OM SYSTEM’s continuous AF capabilities up to 50 fps, it excels in high-speed burst shooting. The built-in 5-axis Sync IS system offers up to 7 stops of stabilization when paired with a compatible OM SYSTEM camera body, while providing 5.5 stops of compensation on its own. This ensures not only sharper images at slower shutter speeds but also a steadier EVF experience—crucial when framing distant subjects at long focal lengths.

Close-Up Performance with Advanced Optical Control

Though it’s designed for telephoto shooting, the M.Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8 also delivers excellent close-up capabilities. It can focus as close as 2.6 feet throughout the entire zoom range, offering a maximum magnification of 0.25x at 200mm. Combined with the lens’s bright f/2.8 aperture and stabilization features, this makes it an outstanding choice for handheld macro-style shooting. Additionally, users with compatible OM SYSTEM cameras can take advantage of in-camera focus stacking for enhanced depth of field in macro images.

Ready for Any Environment

Built to endure harsh outdoor conditions, this lens is both compact and rugged. It measures under 9 inches in length and weighs only 2.75 lbs (with tripod adapter), showcasing the efficiency of the Micro Four Thirds system. Its internal zoom and focusing mechanism keep the lens length stable during operation, improving handling and weather resistance. With an IP53 rating, it is sealed against dust and splashes, and can operate in temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). A fluorine-coated front element resists moisture and fingerprints for easier maintenance, while a range of physical switches—including focus limiter, AF/MF toggle, IS on/off, and customizable function buttons—ensures quick control in the field.

Essential Accessories and Expandability

Included with the lens is a removable, rotating tripod adapter with an Arca-style dovetail and 1/4-20 mount for seamless tripod or monopod integration. The LH-82C lens hood also features a unique sliding filter control window, allowing easy access to rotating filters like circular polarizers or variable NDs. For even more reach, the lens is fully compatible with the optional MC-14 and MC-20 teleconverters. These expand the lens’s equivalent focal length to 140-560mm f/4 and 200-800mm f/5.6, respectively, making it one of the most versatile telephoto tools in the Micro Four Thirds ecosystem.
