Supertelephoto zoom with an impressive optical design
The OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8 IS Pro stands out as the world’s only 100-400mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens with a constant f2.8 aperture. A 4x zoom range covers super telephoto and telemacro for capturing detailed wildlife portraits, broad landscapes, and close-up snaps of nature. The bright maximum aperture makes it suitable for capturing photos at faster shutter speeds and in low light.
Its optical construction includes 21 elements arranged in 13 groups, featuring advanced components such as 1 EDA, 2 Super ED, 1 ED, 2 HR, and 3 E-HR lenses. This design minimises chromatic aberration, distortion, and ghosting, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness even at maximum zoom. An internal zoom mechanism maintains balance during focal length adjustments, while ZERO Coating II and a fluorine-coated front element suppress flares, resist smudges, and repel water for uncompromised image quality in the field.
Rapid autofocus and reliable 5-axis sync IS
Paired with a compatible OM SYSTEM camera, this lens supports expanded depth of field with focus stacking and up to 50fps C-AF (continuous autofocus), enabling wildlife, sports, and fast-action photography with reliable subject tracking. For even more precision, it integrates seamlessly with Pro Capture to freeze decisive moments. Handheld shooting at extreme focal lengths is made possible with industry-leading 5-axis Sync IS, delivering up to 7.0 stops of stabilisation with a compatible camera body. This allows photographers to achieve sharp results at shutter speeds as slow as 1/3 second at a 400mm equivalent focal length, giving unprecedented freedom in challenging light conditions.
Designed for all-weather outdoor shooting
At just 1,075g without the tripod collar, the OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8 IS Pro lens is incredibly lightweight for a supertelephoto zoom of its class, balancing portability and professional performance. Certified to IP53 standards, it is fully weather-sealed to withstand rain, dust, and freezing temperatures, ensuring reliability in the harshest environments. The lens also offers close-focusing flexibility with 0.5x magnification (35mm equivalent) at a minimum distance of 0.78m, expanding creative options for macro-style wildlife and nature details without compromising shooting distance.
Compatible with a range of accessories
The M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f2.8 IS Pro lens comes with a detachable, rotating tripod collar for improved stability during extended shoots and long exposures. The included LH-82C Lens Hood not only blocks stray light from entering the lens, but also has a sliding filter window for easy access to rotating filters. For photographers who require even greater reach, compatibility with the separately available MC-14 1.4x and MC-20 2x teleconverters extends the effective focal length to 140-560mm f4.0 or 200-800mm f5.6 (35mm equivalent), respectively.
