OM System has just officially announced the new OM ED 50-200mm F2.8 IS Pro lens. It is a fast telephoto zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds. It’s equivalent to a 100-400mm lens on a full-frame system, and its reach can be extended when paired with a teleconverter, though doing so comes at the cost of light-gathering ability.
This new lens costs $3,699, first available for pre-order at B&H/ Adorama.
