Hands-on OM System M.Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8 IS Pro review: The world’s only 100-400mm f/2.8 equivalent lens!

The OM System M.Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8 IS Pro lens, mounted to the OM System OM-1 Mark II, being used by photographer James Artaius.

You know a lens is special when it’s white. And the OM System M.Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8 IS Pro is a very special lens. Like so many Olympus / OM optics, it’s unique on the market – being the world’s only 100-400mm f/2.8 lens (in equivalent 35mm terms). More than that, though, it’s a lens that will make amateurs better and will make pros more money.

I didn’t know that I’d been waiting for the OM System M.Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8 IS, but it turns out I was. I’ve been using the brilliant Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro for over a decade, and I’ve never had any issues with it. But this new lens simply sets new standards for speed, sharpness, stabilization and especially reach.
