OM 50-200mm PRO review at Photographyblog: “desirable lens that every wildlife and sports photographer should consider.”

OM 50-200mm at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, OM US store, Fotokoch, Foto Erhardt, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton, OM EU stores.

Photographyblog tested the new 50-200mm PRO lens and concluded:

The main downside is the price – the full RRP of £2999.99 in the UK and $3699 in the USA certainly makes the made-to-order 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO a considered purchase, especially as the older but still very popular 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro is less than half the cost.

If you can stretch to this 2025 lens, though, and you don’t mind pairing it with a teleconverter, it could effectively replace both the 40-150mm and 100-400mm zooms in your kit bag, making it much more financially viable.

Overall, the new OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO is a somewhat surprising but very desirable lens that every Micro Four Thirds wildlife and sports photographer should consider.
