I still may consider it. I just have a thing about pop up flashes. I don't like them. If the KP is my best choice, I will get over it. Also, what would be the actual focal length be with a DA 200 be on a KP?
Thank you very much.

The field of view will be similar to a 300 on FF, but the focal length will be the same.
I like the DA* 200 on APS-c, but it's constant companion is the ƒ 1.7x TC for more reach on FF.
My 18-135 on APS-c gives me the same field of view at 135mm. It's a little underwhelming on FF.
The best telephoto set up for APS-c is the 300 ƒ4, with the 1.4 TC, giving the same field of view as 600mm on FF. That's good enough to shoot Grizlies with and do some decent birding.
I do however lover the DA*200 combo for it's weight, for it's ƒ2.8 which means it will be a functional 400 ƒ5.6 when the new 2x TC comes out. But compared to the 510 ƒ4.5 of my Tamron 300 2.8 and 1.7x TC it's a little on the short side.
