Excellent upgrade to the "old" 50-200
The old 50-200 lens was a wonderful performer, and the SWD version does not disappoint. It continues to be solidly constructed and its focus is fast and accurate. My only complaint is the new lens hood makes packing it more difficult, but I appreciate the cut out for polarizer access that the new...

I owned an Olympus 18-180mm f3.5 Zuiko Digital Ultra Zoom Lens and was not happy with it because of the slow focus along with the non-sharpness in the picture. After I upgraded to this 50-200mm SWD lens, it was like night and day.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Sharp Focus

This lens is a gem and I use it quite often for sporting events, nature, wildlife, macros, and portraits. The 50-200mm is a perfect match with the 12-60mm and together they cover 95% of the shooting that I do.
Pros:
- Super sharp resolution and tack sharp focusing
- Excellent DOF with wide open appetures
- Extremely fast and quiet focusing
- Water and dust resistant
Cons:
- A little heavy and the lens hood is enormous
- but using a monopod seems to help take the load off

REVIEW: Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm 1:2.8-3.5 SWD
This 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD lens from Olympus covers a range equivalent to 100-400mm on a 35mm camera and costs around ￡1000. Besides having a relatively bright maximum aperture, it also has a silent SWD focusing motor.
