Olympus OM system OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO incl. lens hood and lens case (13236FOC)

OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO lens with lens hood and case. The 50-200mm F2.8 IS PRO is the world's only fully weather-sealed, versatile super-telephoto zoom lens, featuring a 100–400 mm equivalent focal length and a constant F2.8 aperture (as of September 2025 data). With the optional MC-20 teleconverter, the focal length can be extended up to 800 mm. Weighing just 1075 grams, it is designed for versatility. Combined with an advanced 5-axis synchronized image stabilization system, this lens ensures flexible handheld shooting with up to 7.0 stops of image stabilization.


 





 


DURABLE YET LIGHTWEIGHT: TELEPHOTO LENS FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS


 


Built to withstand challenging conditions, the lens features IP53-certified resistance to splashes, dust, and cold, ensuring reliable performance in the harshest environments. A minimum focusing distance of 0.78 m is ideal for photographing stunning close-up shots of subtle subjects, with magnification up to 0.5x (35 mm equivalent). Despite its impressive capabilities, it remains incredibly lightweight, making it easy to carry during long photo sessions or in remote locations. This balance of power and portability makes it an excellent choice for photographers wanting to shoot with a telephoto lens handheld in extreme outdoor conditions.


 





BRIGHT F2.8 APERTURE FOR WILDLIFE AND LOW-LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY


 


This lens features a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, providing a 100–400 mm equivalent focal length. This large-diameter, high-performance telephoto lens features a 400 mm, F2.8 equivalent in the telephoto position and up to 800 mm, F5.6 equivalent when using a 2x teleconverter. The bright maximum aperture allows for fast shooting at lower ISO settings, making it easy to photograph active wildlife and animals in low-light conditions, such as early morning and sunset. Due to its wide focal length range, this lens offers exceptional versatility even in landscape photography, allowing you to capture a wide variety of scenes. The lens construction consists of 21 elements in 13 groups, including a large-diameter ED element and 2 "Super ED" elements, to achieve a large-diameter F2.8 lens with reduced flare and color fringing across the zoom range and excellent edge resolution. The new ZERO ("Zuiko Extra low Reflection Optical") II coating effectively suppresses ghosting and flare in bright areas, resulting in bright and clear images. An internal zoom system is used, which minimizes shifts in the center of gravity during zooming to ensure stable framing and greater comfort during long shooting sessions. High-speed and precise focusing supports AF tracking continuous shooting of up to 50 frames per second. This lens also features exceptional close-up photography performance—the minimum focusing distance is 0.78 m across all zoom ranges. Shooting in tele-macro mode is easy, with a maximum magnification of 0.5x equivalent, and 1x equivalent when using a 2x teleconverter. It is perfect for nature macro photography, shooting subjects that tend to get startled when approached too closely, such as insects. Additionally, this lens is compatible with the unique OM SYSTEM focus stacking feature.


 




SUPPORTS 5-AXIS SYNCHRONIZATION FOR EASY HANDHELD SHOOTING WITH UP TO 7.0 STOPS OF IMAGE STABILIZATION COMPENSATION




This model is compatible with 5-axis synchronized IS, which works in conjunction with the camera body's image stabilization system. A high-precision gyroscopic sensor and optimized image stabilization algorithm provide up to 7.0 stops of image stabilization, at a 400 mm equivalent—a world-class level. Image stabilization not only reduces camera shake while shooting but also effectively helps keep the subject in frame. When shooting with a super-telephoto lens handheld, it can be very difficult to keep the subject in frame, but 5-axis synchronized image stabilization keeps the viewfinder image stable, making shooting much easier. Despite being a large-diameter super-telephoto lens, it is easy to carry—it weighs approximately 1075 g (without tripod mount). This allows for a more compact, lighter, and more mobile photography system, providing more freedom to track subjects.
