Om 50-200mm review by Amazing Alpha: “unmatched mix of portability, reach, and image quality”

OM 50-200mm f/2.8 PRO at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, OM US store, Fotokoch, Foto Erhardt, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton, OM European stores.

This is a short translated summary of his 50-200mm lens review:

During his latest adventure in Namibia, YouTuber Amazing Alpha tested the OM System M.Zuiko 50–200mm f/2.8 PRO in real-world conditions. Mounted on the OM-1 Mark II, this compact setup covered a 100–400 mm full-frame equivalent range. When paired with the 2× teleconverter, it reached 800 mm while maintaining exceptional sharpness and contrast.

In the field, Alpha captured stunning wildlife scenes — from aerial bird fights to a lion hunt at dusk — all handheld. Thanks to the OM-1 Mark II’s stacked 20 MP sensor and remarkable in-body stabilization, he achieved sharp 50 MP handheld high-resolution shots and reliable autofocus performance even in fast action sequences at 50 fps.

The combination proved remarkably flexible: ideal for landscapes, macro, wildlife, and astrophotography. The built-in electronic ND filter simplified long-exposure work, while the 4:3 sensor format provided extra room for both landscape and portrait compositions.

Conclusion: According to Amazing Alpha, the 50–200mm f/2.8 PRO combined with the OM-1 Mark II offers an unmatched mix of portability, reach, and image quality — a lightweight setup capable of delivering professional results across every genre of photography.

Share

Here is a short summary:

  • Gear isn’t everything – older, cheap cameras can teach you more about street photography than chasing the latest models.
  • Always carry a camera – Matt Stewart’s famous shot of a dog “driving” a car only happened because he brought his camera along.
  • Vision matters most – Tarav Pong Pratam Wong proves that creativity and persistence create great photos, regardless of the camera used.
  • Technique over specs – Eduardo Ortiz shows how thoughtful settings and approach can maximize even modest gear.
  • Everyday camera picksLumix GX80, LX100, GM1, GX1, and Olympus PEN-F are compact, affordable choices for street photography.
