Plot twist! The OM 50–200mm could indeed take teleconverters!

On September 10 at 7am London time, OM will unveil the new 50-200mm f/2.8 lens. Initially, one source claimed it wouldn’t support teleconverters, but another insists it absolutely will. Looks like there may have been a miscommunication — and that’s great news for all of us!

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!
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
