OM-systems, formerly Olympus, has announced several new products. The OM-1 has received an upgrade, and there is a new compact 9-18mm lens. Many will also be excited about the 150-600mm super-telephoto zoom.

The OM-systems OM-1 Mark II is the brand's top model, which was once called Olympus. It has gained an AI-AF system and a 20-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor.

The camera looks almost identical, but the changes can be found in the capabilities of this Micro Four Thirds camera. The improved autofocus capabilities are the most noticeable.

In addition to the built-in grey filter, the camera now also has a built-in graduated grey filter. This unique feature makes it possible to block light in part of the photo without physical filters.

The new OM-1 Mark II will be available from 15 February 2025 and will cost 2,399 euros.

OM-systems has also released a new M.Zuiko Digital ED 9‑18mm F4.0‑5.6 II. This fully black lens is a new version of the lens released in 2010 under the Olympus name.

The lens will be available for 728 euros from mid-February.

Anyone who wants a lot of reach will be excited about the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-600mm F5.0‑6.3 IS. Converted to full frame, this lens has a range of 300-1200mm.

This lens is of course not as compact as you would expect from a M43 system. At just over 2 kilograms, it is a substantial lens. You do get a fantastic telephoto range with it.

The lens has built-in image stabilisation and is resistant to harsh weather conditions. If you combine the lens with the 2x teleconverter, the range is an impressive 300-1200mm, or 600-2400mm full-frame equivalent.

The lens will be available at the end of February and will cost 2,699 euros.
