Description
A distinctly fast and flexible lens, the M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO, from OM SYSTEM, is a 100-400mm-equivalent telephoto zoom that mixes a bright , stable design with a robust, weather-sealed, and lightweight construction. Built for wildlife, sports, and general adventure applications, this lens is at home in the outdoors and able to keep up with the fastest-moving subjects.
Flexible Focal Length, Bright Design
Covering a useful range for photographing wildlife and sports subjects, the 100-400mm-equivalent zoom range is backed by a fast constant f/2.8 maximum aperture for tremendous versatility in a variety of shooting conditions.
Truly unique 100-400mm-equivalent zoom range with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture in a portable, hand-holdable design offers more flexibility when photographing distant moving subjects.
Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in available lighting conditions and enables making shallow depth of field, selective focus images.
Optical design includes a series of low dispersion and high refractive index glass elements for impressive clarity and color accuracy.
ZERO II (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating suppresses flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Fast AF and Robust Sync IS
Especially quick and responsive autofocus system suits working with quick-moving subjects and distant targets, including birds, wildlife, and sports scenes.
The focusing system supports C-AF at continuous shooting speeds up to 50 fps, too, to keep up with fast burst shooting needs.
Offering greater freedom for handheld shooting, a 5-axis Sync IS system compensates for up to 7 stops of camera shake for sharper images when working at slower shutter speeds. This Sync IS setting requires a compatible OM SYSTEM body; if used without Sync IS, the lens itself compensates for approximately 5.5 stops of camera shake.
Beyond the sharper resulting images, this IS system also provides a more stable EVF image for easier framing and composing at great distances and with longer focal length positions.
Unique Close-Up Focus and Advanced Optics
Despite its association with distant subjects, this 50-200mm lens also excels with close-up scenes thanks to a minimum focusing distance of 2.6′ throughout the entire zoom range. This offers a maximum magnification of 0.25x at the 200mm position and the combination of Sync IS and a bright f/2.8 design greatly benefit handheld shooting at close range. Also, when used with compatible OM SYSTEM cameras, this lens supports in-camera focus stacking functions.
Outdoor-Ready Construction
Built for use in a wide variety of climates, this zoom is distinguished by its impressively compact and lightweight design as well as thorough weather sealing for safe use outdoors.
