"I tested the DA 50-200 tonight at 80mm, f4.5. That's one sharp lens."
I agree. I don't have it, but I had use of one for a while and tested it systematically against the old SMC F 70-210. The DA 50-200 held its own in that test, being just a little weaker at the long end. Funny thing is, I've seen internal Pentax documents (know ask how) that say the DA 50-200 is weak at the long end, and they've got to do better with the forthcoming 75-300. I'm puzzled by that. That little telezoom strikes me as a very decent performer, and excellent value.
