Mixing a 400mm telephoto reach with a bright f/2.8 aperture typically requires sacrificing zoom and choosing a prime lens – but Micro Four Thirds giant OM System has just unveiled the world’s first 100-400mm f/2.8 equivalent lens. The OM System 50-200mm f/2.8 IS Pro is a bright telephoto designed to mix a wide aperture with the flexibility of zoom and the portability of a Micro Four Thirds system.
The 50-200mm f/2.8 IS Pro builds on the success of the brand’s 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro and maintains the bright f/2.8 aperture while expanding the reach. Designed with versatility in mind, the 50-200mm combines that 100-400mm equivalent range with close focusing capabilities that translate to a 0.5x macro on full-frame standards.
