Every year, someone declares Micro Four Thirds dead. And every year, the system answers with glass that simply does not exist anywhere else. OM System just dropped the M.Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8 IS PRO, the world's only constant f/2.8 zoom covering 100-400mm equivalent, and it is the kind of lens that makes full frame shooters do math they do not enjoy.
