Hi guys!

The 200mm DA* is one of my favourite and mostly used lens. How does the new D FA* IQ compare to it?
I've read lots of reviews of the new lens and it looks like everyone is praising it's IQ from f2.8 and up, so I'm quite intrigued.

Thanks!

I compared my FA* 80-200 to my DA* 200 before I sold it. The FA* was as good or better, and had less purple fringing and CA than the FA*. Some people who have compared the FA* to the D FA have given the impression that the D FA was much better than the FA*.
