Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD Professional Telephoto Lens (Ft, m43, Panasonic)

For sale is my Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD, the second version of this highly regarded professional Four Thirds telephoto zoom lens with the fast SWD focusing motor.
This lens is very well known among Olympus users and is praised for its excellent sharpness, beautiful colours, strong contrast, smooth background separation and professional build quality. On Micro Four Thirds it gives a very useful 100-400mm equivalent range, while still keeping a bright f/2.8-3.5 aperture.
It is especially good on Olympus E-M1 series cameras with phase-detection autofocus, when used with a Four Thirds to Micro Four Thirds adapter. On E-M1 bodies this lens performs much better than on standard Micro Four Thirds cameras without phase-detect AF.
A great lens for portraits, wildlife, birds, sport, concerts, events, compressed landscape shots and general telephoto photography.
I chose this lens very carefully for myself. Before buying it, I checked around 10 different copies, and this was the best one I found in terms of condition and optical cleanliness.
Condition: 9+/10.
The lens is fully tested and works perfectly. Optics are clean, with no fungus and no haze. The body is in excellent condition, with only minimal signs of careful use.
Included:
