Digital camera reviews of Pentax DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED Lens for Pentax and Samsung DSLR Cameras

Digital camera Review: Fine telephoto
Summary: 5 Stars

Small, lighweight and sharp as a tack. This is a fine zooom lens for Pentax digital SLRs. Matched with the standard kit that comes with most Pentax digital SLRs and you have a smooth range of focal lengths from about 27mm to 300mm (35mm film equivalent). What else can I say? I carry it with me all the time.

Digital camera Review: Good lens, great value
Summary: 5 Stars

If you need something that reaches out a bit without burning a hole in your wallet go for this lens. Stop it down a bit and you'll get great pictures. Not recommended for low light.

Digital camera Review: Good Basic Lens
Summary: 4 Stars

Light weight construction and could be better with a 300mm zoom but for the price is a good quality lens. Pictures come out clear and focus is quick.

Digital camera Review: Good Lens for the price
Summary: 3 Stars

Nice lens at a reasonable price. The 50 - 200 mm lens becomes a second lens to carry. Would only need single lens with a ~30 - 200 MM lens.

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.
