Boris, I'll have to do a side by side comparison of the three but my opinion at this point is it's very similar in image quality to the A70-210/4. I'm one of the strange ones who doesn't care all that much for the F70-210/4-5.6, plenty sharp but I think the bokeh is quite harsh. (One mans opinion) The 50-200 is lighter than both, and smaller than the A. The stationary front element and "Quick Shift Focus" clutch are big pluses for me too. At $250.00 I feel it is money well spent.
