| Latest Review Posted | SMC Pentax-DA* 200mm F2.8 ED [IF] SDM
I saw this lens for a good price here on the forums and couldn't pass it up. It has had an SDM repair, but I'm crossing my fingers that it won't happen again. On to the lens itself - the handling is lovely, and the autofocus is magic - almost completely silent, and very quick - I'd say that it focuses nearly as quickly as my F-135, which is very quickly indeed. I'm quite happy with the images I'm getting, though my long-lens technique certainly could use more work. Some might say that it's a bit of a 'tweener focal length, but I find it quite good for many things, and somewhat more flexible than I imagine a fixed 300mm lens would be. Very much looking forward to taking this lens with me on a trip to Alaska this summer.
