Who said it is?????????????? :-)
Perhaps I was not clear enough: I have mounted DA 50-200 to MX just as an experiment and image does not cover 35mm film frame properly. That means that optical design is not directly derived from 35mm film zoom lenses of the similar range as someone have suggested/asked. That was the point.
BTW, I like mounting DA lenses on MX just to see image circle. Results are surprising with most DA lenses: some of them would be quite useful with FA-J compatible bodies (For example, DA16-45 would make an excellent 20-45mm zoom -- it covers full-frame from 20mm up.)
