This is a high-performance super-telescopic zoom lens that features, for the first time, the Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) autofocus system which enables the lens to achieve an AF speed about two times faster3 than the previous ED 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 model. ED lens elements are used extensively to correct the color blurring that can occur when telescopic lenses are extended to their maximum focal length, while the digital-dedicated design ensures high-quality performance with clear, crisp images from edge to edge. Close-up shooting capability is also superb, with a minimum shooting distance of just 1.2 meters throughout the zoom range.

Designed to meet the needs of the professional photographer, Zuiko Digital lenses were born of an uncompromising commitment to performance. The lenses feature high resolving power, to get the most out of the imaging element. Zuiko Digital lenses allow light to strike the image sensor at a near-perpendicular angle, minimizing degradation and light loss. This large, award-winning family of lenses is perfectly matched to work exclusively with digital cameras so every pixel is properly exposed.

"Bought Olympus to get new lens mount system.

Never considered Olympus beings I use Hasablad and Leica film, Canon 1D Full Frame Digital with adapters so I can use Hasi/Leica Glass on Canon.

Only bought this so I could bolt up an old Minolta/Leica 800mm Mirror Lens via adapter. What a surprise in …" Read Full Review »

Sharp, vivid, swift auto focus, a KEEPER

★★★★★

5.0

"The 50-200 ED SWD, looked bulbous especially with the hood on, but once I started using it the results proved to be so sharp and vivid that it became my preferred long lens over my 70-300oly; the real bonus is the very swift auto-focus which makes this 50-200oly lens a delight to use and a keeper.

"I spent about six months trying to decide to fork out over 2 grand for the 35-100mm f/2.0 ED Zuiko Digital Zoom Lens or this not quite as bright 50-200mm lense, with f 2.8 - 3.5.

"This lens' features are unique to the Olympus DSLR system (actually the Four Thirds system). In fact, this one and a few others are the strongest case for buying into the Olympus DSLR system in the first place.
