Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED WR I don't take many pictures at telephoto lengths, but I wanted a lens with longer reach than the 18-135 that would be suitable for overseas travel, and the size and weight of the 50-200mm WR fit nicely. Previous reviews emphasized the limitations of this lens, but for me the size and ergonomics were an overriding consideration. I purchased a used copy in mint condition and steeled myself for mediocre performance, but so far, my expectations have been quite nicely exceeded! Hopefully, I'll be able to put this to good use in the future. https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/115316/large/1_IMGP1752.JPG
EDIT: Of course, one of the best qualities of this lens is being able to use it when it's cold and snowing. https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/115316/large/1_IMGP4352.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/115316/large/1_IMGP4258.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/images/115316/large/1_IMGP4282.jpg |
