Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax 200mm F2.5 This is a great lens if you understand its characteristics and you know how to use it properly. It is not a lens for beginners, point and shoot photographers or impatient individuals. It takes time to learn how to extract the best from this lens but once you've mastered it, it will reward you with great photos. Some folks complain about aberrations but that's not a problem if one understands the strengths and weaknesses of a lens and how to use it properly. My copy is sharp at 2.5 and only gets better as you stop down. Bokeh is smooth and pleasant, color is outstanding. DOF is shallow wide open and focus can be a challenge. It probably helps that I have a Katz-Eye split prism screen in my K-5iis. The following picture was taken mid-day. Can you explain the the aberrations issue? :) https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/attachments/122-lens-clubs/460014-200mm-seemly-unloved-these-days-focal-length-club-_igp4019_1.jpg
