New video on YouTube of me taking the Brand new OM 50-200mm pro (mycopy) and catching all kinds of wildlife and insects. It’s a very versatile and well put together lens with a couple of downsides but a lot of upsides. Search for macro_action on YouTube if you’re thinking of this lens for wildlife.
