From the editor

A lens introduced along with the Olympus OM2000 35mm film SLR camera in June 1997. Made by Cosina. Most likely optically the same as the Cosina 70-210mm F/4.5-5.6 lens (not in our database).

This super light weight tele zoom is a very affordable option for starting photographers. Combined with the S Zuiko Zoom 35-70mm/F3.5-4.8 the whole photographic range from 35mm wide angle to 210mm tele is covered with just two lenses that weigh together only 520g.

In MACRO mode, the closest focusing distance is 1.14m.
