Odd, still no teaser for the OM 50-200mm lens launch

On September 10 (or maybe 9?) OM will announce the new 50-200mm f/2.8 lens. But what’s a bit odd is that OM has not made any teasing for this launch event. Hopefully soon I can give you the exact announcement hour…stay tuned!

New OM 50-200mm Image Quality superior to the 150-400?

A tipster told me that in his opinion the new OM 50-200mm f/2.8 PRO lens that will be announced on September 9/10 has superior image Quality over the great 150–400mm PRO (which sells for over $7000). The only caveat, he said the new lens doens’t take TC :(

POLL: Will you buy the new OM 50-200mm f/2.8 lens?

OM Digital is set to announce the new 50–200mm f/2.8 PRO lens on September 10 (or September 9 depending on your time zone).
This will be the first lens fully developed by the OM Digital team, and I’m genuinely curious to see how it performs.

There’s no official pricing yet, but based on the specs and the potential image/build quality—possibly comparable to the legendary 150–400mm PRO (which sells for over $7000)—I wouldn’t be surprised if this new lens lands somewhere north of $4000.

I know it’s tough to decide before full details drop, but I’d love to know: Would you consider buying this lens?

If the price is reasonable and the performance is excellent, would you consider buying the new OM 50-200mm f/2.8?

LEAKED: M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO is coming on September 10

First leaked image of the upcoming M.Zuiko Digital ED 50–200mm f/2.8 IS PRO, set to be announced on September 10! The great news: this is not a rebranded Sigma 70–200mm, as many feared. Instead, it’s a true OM System design — and it just might rival the legendary 150–400mm PRO in performance!

I have no info yet about the pricing and other specs. But it sounds exciting don’t you agree?

The Nightmare Scenario: What if the new OM telephoto zoom is just a rebadged Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8?

OM Digital is set to announce a new telephoto zoom lens soon—but there’s one possibility that gives me real nightmares. What if, once again, it’s just a rebranded Sigma full-frame design?

There’s an unconfirmed rumor suggesting the upcoming OM lens might actually be a white-painted, OM-branded version of the Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 full-frame lens—similar to what we saw with the OM 150-600mm, which turned out to be a rehoused Sigma.

Hopefully, this is just a bad dream—and we’ll soon wake up to see OM Digital unveil a truly original, high-performance lens, crafted in-house with the same level of excellence as the legendary 150-400mm PRO.

There seems to be an OM Digital announcement coming soon…

I’ve heard the first rumors about a possible launch event for a new OM Digital product coming soon. Apparently, some “influencers” have received equipment to test. All we know for sure is that OM Digital will announce the new telephoto zoom lens, which has been talked about for some time, within 1-2 months. It might be a new 70-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO lens with the same super high quality like the epic 150-400mm PRO.

When it comes to cameras I got no info about a possible new PEN or OM camera coming. But I hope to be proven wrong…

Rumor: has the the OM-10 series been terminated?

I got this wold rumor from an Asian source:

OM Digital has clarified that development of the OM-10s series will not continue. Apparently, the OM-1, OM-5, and OM-3 series will be the only ones to remain in production.

That would be bad news, but not entirely surprising. For a small company like OM Digital, it makes little sense to offer four different OM model series. I would rather buy a new PEN than an OM10V. What do you think?
