OM System 90mm F3.5 Macro IS lens officially released

OM System has officially announced the brand-new M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO lens, with an impressive 2x macro magnification, which can be doubled to 4x when used with the MC-20 2x teleconverter.

The 90mm macro lens features built-in optical image stabilisation (IS) that works in sync with the camera body IBIS (In-body Image Stabilisation) for up to 7 steps of compensation (5-axis Sync IS). The lens is also weather sealed to a rating of IP53, when used with IP53 rated cameras such as the Olympus OM-1 and OM System OM-5.

The lens is part of the Micro Four Thirds standard, and gives an equivalent to 180mm (in 35mm terms), making it one of the “longest” main-brand macro lenses for the system. It also benefits from the manual focus clutch mechanism making it easy to switch between manual and autofocus.
