OM Digital Solutions Corporation has proudly introduced its latest innovation, the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO. This advanced super telephoto zoom lens is designed to elevate photography experiences by offering exceptional optical performance while complying with the Micro Four Thirds System standard.
Key Features and Benefits
The lens features a constant F2.8 aperture throughout its focal range, delivering an impressive 100-400mm equivalent focal length. With the addition of the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 2x Teleconverter MC-20, users can extend this to an astonishing 800mm equivalent. This capability enables photographers to capture stunning images of distant subjects, making it ideal for wildlife, sports, and landscape photography.
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO boasts excellent resolution across its entire zoom range thanks to cutting-edge optical technologies. It is fully compatible with the 5-axis sync IS, providing up to 7.0 stops of compensation to ensure sharp images even when shooting handheld. This feature significantly enhances user experience by reducing the effects of camera shake during telephoto shooting.
Flexibility in Photography Styles
This lens's remarkable versatility allows it to meet the needs of various photography genres. Whether it’s capturing expansive landscapes, swift-moving wildlife, or intricate macro shots, this lens does not disappoint. With a maximum image magnification of 0.5x equivalent, it shines during close-up photography, allowing users to explore the finer details of their subjects without disturbing them.
Advanced Optical Design
The lens construction features 21 elements grouped into 13 categories, integrating components like a large-diameter EDA lens and two Super ED lenses. These elements work together to minimize flares and color bleeding, delivering sharp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions. The innovative ZERO coat technology ensures reduced ghosting and flare in backlit situations, promoting higher image quality.
Furthermore, the lens employs an internal zoom mechanism that preserves equilibrium while adjusting focal lengths, offering greater shooting comfort during long sessions. High-speed autofocus enables tracking of subjects moving at high velocities, which is crucial during dynamic outdoor photography scenarios.

Its freeze-proof capabilities down to -10°C add an extra layer of durability, allowing photographers to focus on their craft without concern for equipment failure in harsh conditions. The fluorine coating on the front lens facilitates easy cleaning, which is essential when shooting outdoors.
