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!

OM 20-200mm f/2.8 PRO specs:

• Same high quality built of the 150–400mm PRO (which sells for over $7000).
• Image Quality on par or even slightly higher (according to a tester)
• 76mm filter size

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 :(

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?

Note: Appears the lens has a 77mm filter size…

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.
