NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
B&H Photo is sharing the latest lens from OM System, the M. Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO Lens. A fully weather sealed, all-purpose super zoom and the world’s first and only lens with an effective focal length of 100-400mm (35mm equivalent) and a constant f/2.8 aperture. Weighing only 2.37 lbs. and coming in at just over 8.8” long, this is the perfect companion to wildlife and nature photographers looking for an unrivaled, adventure-ready lens.
This new lens opens up a whole new world of handheld wildlife photography with its compact and lightweight design, but don’t let its size fool you. The 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO comes packed with a vast array of features that will deliver spectacularly sharp, detailed images. The inclusion of OM Systems five-axis Sync IS system means the in-lens stabilization works in conjuncture with in-body stabilization to provide up to seven stops of compensation. Fast, accurate autofocus tracks subject matter of all kinds thanks to intelligent subject detection found in OM bodies like the OM-1 Mark II. High volume shooters will appreciate that this lens supports 50 fps sequential shooting with full continuous autofocus functionality.
