The DA* 50-135 has replaced the DA 50-200 in my kit for the most part, although I still occasionally turn to the 50-200 when I need some extra reach. It did serve me very well.

After reading this review I wouldn't dare buying this lens. As a
reference Photozone trashed the 50-200 completely. For pixelpeeping
fun I got this lens a few days ago for very little money (thanks
photozone!). The 50-200 is simply amazing (if you stop it down one or
two steps).
They also think my other lenses are middle of the road or worse. ROFL!

:-) fwiw, it *is* one point of reference, another being actually
seeing photos from the lenses one is interested in, in forums like
these. i tend to agree with you about the 50-200. got one for myself
not too long ago in spite of the thrashing it got from photozone, mainly
after seeing photos here by Paul and others though he doesn't seem to
be using it much these days....

and i believe photozone reviews have traditionally had a mixed
reception here... :-)
