The M.Zuiko Digital ED 50–200mm f/2.8 IS PRO is the world’s only lens offering this zoom range with a bright f/2.8 aperture the whole way through. And it only weighs 2.37 pounds! That’s significantly lighter to any other lens offering a similar reach. This light weight, coupled with built-in IS rated for seven stops of shake correction and IP53 weather sealing, enables handheld capture in all kinds of surprising situations.
Don’t miss the opportunity to see this brand new lens THIS WEEKEND at the FocusPoint Photo & Video Expo! Click here for more information.
Also surprising is the maximum magnification of 0.5x, an unusual feature for this category; this can even be bumped up to a true-macro 1x when using the MC-20 teleconverter! (Yes, the lens is compatible with the MC-14 and MC-20 teleconverters, allowing an unbelievable reach of 400mm, an 800mm 35mm equivalent field of view.)
Numerous physical controls let you keep your mind and eyes on your distant subjects. One of four programmable L-Fn buttons is always easy to access, plus the switch panel includes:
- Focus limiter (0.78m–3m/FULL/3m–infinity)
- AF/MF
- IS on/off
- L-Fn switch (L-Fn/Preset (beep off)/Preset (beep on)
- SET button (saves current focus position for quick recall)
The zoom is designed to operate completely internally, so there are fewer vulnerabilities and better balance. 21 lens elements in 13 groups have been carefully crafted and OM System’s Zero II coating keeps flaring under control—while a fluorine coating keeps the front element much cleaner.
Get fearless! Shoot far! And come visit us at FocusPoint, September 12th and 13th!
