OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO incl. Lens hood and Lens case

OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO incl. Lens hood and Lens case. The 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO is the world’s only fully weather-sealed, all-purpose super-telephoto zoom lens, offering a 100-400mm equivalent focal length with a constant F2.8 aperture (as of September 2025). With the optional MC-20 teleconverter, it can be extended to an 800mm equivalent focal length. Weighing just 1075 grams, it is built for versatility. Paired with our advanced 5-axis sync IS, this lens supports agile handheld shooting with up to 7.0 stops of image stabilisation. 

RUGGED YET LIGHTWEIGHT: A TELEPHOTO LENS FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS

Built to withstand challenging conditions, the lens features IP53-certified splash- and dust-resistant, and freezeproof construction for reliable performance in the harshest environments. Its 0.78m minimum focusing distance makes it ideal for capturing stunning close-ups of delicate subjects with up to 0.5x magnification (35mm equivalent). Despite its impressive capabilities, it remains remarkably lightweight, making it easy to carry on long shoots or in remote locations. This balance of power and portability makes it an excellent choice for photographers aiming to capture handheld telephoto shots in extreme field conditions.

BRIGHT F2.8 APERTURE FOR WILDLIFE AND LOW-LIGHT MASTERY

This lens features a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, offering a focal distance of 100- 400mm equivalent. This large-diameter, super telephoto zoom lens delivers 400mm, F2.8 equivalent at the telephoto end, and up to 800mm, F5.6 equivalent when using the 2x teleconverter. The bright maximum aperture value enables high-speed shutter photography at a lower ISO, making it easy to capture photos of wild birds and wild animals that are active in low light conditions such as early morning and sunset. With its broad focal range, this single lens offers exceptional versatility, even for landscape photography, making it highly capable of capturing a wide variety of scenes. A lavish, 21 elements in 13 groups lens construction was adopted, including a large-diameter EDA lens and 2 Super ED lenses for a large-diameter F2.8 with reduced flares and color bleeding across the entire zoom range, and superb resolution to the edges of the image. The new ZERO (Zuiko Extra low Reflection Optical) Coating II effectively suppresses ghosts and flares in backlit conditions for sharp, clear image quality. An inner zoom system is used, which minimizes center of gravity changes while zooming for stable framing and greater comfort during long photography sessions. High-speed, high-precision focusing supports up to 50 fps AF tracking sequential shooting. This lens also offers outstanding close-up shooting performance, with a closest focusing distance of 0.78m across all zoom ranges. Tele-macro shooting is easy with a maximum image magnification of 0.5x equivalent and 1x magnification when using the 2x teleconverter. It is perfect for nature macro photography of subjects that tend to be scared off when getting too close, such as insects. Additionally, this lens is compatible with the unique OM SYSTEM feature, focus stacking.

SUPPORTS 5-AXIS SYNC IS FOR EASY HANDHELD SHOOTING WITH UP TO 7.0 STEPS OF SHUTTER SPEED COMPENSATION

This model is compatible with 5-axis sync IS, which works in concert with the camera's in body image stabilization. A high-precision gyro sensor and optimized image stabilization algorithm boast up to 7.0 steps of image stabilization at 400mm equivalent, the world's highest level. Image stabilization not only reduces camera shake when shooting, it is also effective for keeping the subject in the frame. It can be very difficult to keep the subject in the frame during handheld super telephoto shooting, but 5-axis sync IS keeps the viewfinder image stable, making shooting much easier. Despite being a large-diameter super telephoto zoom lens, it is easily portable at approximately 1075 g (without the tripod mount). This makes for a more compact, lightweight photography system that is highly mobile for greater freedom in chasing down subjects.
