Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax-DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED WR Bought this lens used in almost perfect condition a few days ago so this is an early review. Also, I painstakingly adjusted the micro focus before use. On my camera it was a +6 which is pretty normal for this camera. If you don't do that for your lenses before reviewing and evaluating your lens you are selling yourself short. I wanted to get some modern range overlap and extension to go with my new generation Sigma 17-70. Also, I wanted a WR lens for a trip I do in the summer that is brutal on cameras where I only dare use WR lens. Today was a lovely day at the beach here in So. Cal and took this new to me lens out for a spin. Very happy with the weight and handling. It was not too obtrusive for candid shots. Was really surprised at how sharp and in focus it was at all its lengths. It was able to do really well at continuous auto AF for the surfers. I was really shocked at how nice the bokeh was and the sharpness of the seagull and crane. A really lovely addition for cheap. If this lens fits your kit I would recommend it especially for less than $120 bucks. Photos I linked to are out-of-camera JPGs shot in Bright mode on my K-5. No other PP. https://www.flickr.com/photos/eddaytona/16182842000/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/eddaytona/16184034219/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/eddaytona/16370253355/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/eddaytona/16182876460/in/photostream/
