Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD

Pros: Sharpness at all focal lengths, maximum aperture, robust construction, tropicalization, focal range, multipliable, price

Cons: None, maybe just the weight but it's still a 50-200 f/2.8-3.5

Opinion: I have owned this lens for about 5 years, combined with an EM1 via adapter, they have accompanied me on several trips and excursions. Sharpness is very high at all focal lengths and apertures and reaches its maximum between f/4 and f/5.6. Really good and sturdy construction, with both zoom and focus rings that give the right feeling. The autofocus if combined with a native 4/3 body or via adapter (MMF3) to a 4/3 micro body with phase autofocus (EM1 mark I, II, II, EM1X and OM1) is at the level of the PRO m4/3 telephoto lenses, but loses speed and precision if combined with bodies with only contrast autofocus. Equivalent to a 100 400 on FF as a field of view, it is perfect as a first lens for naturalistic or as an all-rounder canvas. In addition, the price at which it is found in the second-hand market, make it a best buy if you are not willing to spend about 1000/1500 euros for the M.Zuiko 40-150 2.8 or for the Panaleica 50-200 f/2.8-4. Maybe it's only because of the weight, but it was never too much for me, given the kind of lens Very underrated and very high quality.
