Digital camera reviews of Pentax DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED Lens for Pentax and Samsung DSLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Pentax tele
Summary: 5 Stars
I am surprised at the quality of the pictures taken with the Pentax 50-200mm lens. I highly recommend this lens to anyone looking for a lens in this range.Digital camera Review: The Pentax DA 50-200: a very good quality economy lens
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good quality for the money. Not a fast lens but satisfactory when the camera can be supported or when light is plentiful. Build quality is also very good and all operations are smooth and precise. Nicely augments the 18-50 Pentax kit lens that came with my dslr. With a tele-converter and a tripod this lens becomes a nice medium-long telephoto. I recommend this for those with a limited bankroll and a willingness to utilize a tripod or a solid rock when in the quest for crisp photographic results.Digital camera Review: The other kit lens
Summary: 5 Stars
As a lot of people have said, this is a great addition to the 18-55 kit lens. If your looking for your preferred range this lens will help you find it and will act a a great walk around lens in many situations.
Build quality is similar to that of the 18-55 kit, feels mostly solid except when at the longer end, at which point the inside extends out. The barrel? becomes skinnier, a bit shaky and looks cheapish.
But, it takes great shots. Good color, good speed, quite sharp. In fact I'd say it is consistently sharper than the 18-55 kit lens.
Overall I would suggest getting this if you are unsure about how much you want to spend on longer glass or if you are on a budget.
Digital camera Review: Unbeatable at this price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great zoom. The pictures come out sharp. This lens gets plenty of light with my K200D, despite not being rated "fast".
This is a good complement to the 18-55 kit lens of the Pentax K200D.
You cannot do better for a new lens at this price.
Digital camera Review: Used for over 2 years
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used this lens as one of my 2 main lenses for over 2 years - great image quality and quick AF. Only drawback is it's not an f2.8 lens.
