Pentax SMC 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DA ED review.

Pentax SMC-DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED

 

The Pentax SMC-DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED is currently the longest tele lens in thePentax lens lineup. It is usually sold as part of camera kits but it isalso sold separately for as little as 160€/US$ and as such obviously an offer for budget shoppers....

Lately we've seen a couple of impressively performing budget tele zooms like the Nikkor AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6 IF-ED VR but, unfortunately, the Pentax SMC-DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED is not in this league. The resolution characteristic of the lens is rather...

REVIEW: Pentax SMC 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DA ED

 

This telephoto zoom lens from Pentax competes in an area that has become popular as a first ‘extra' lens since the introduction of cropped sensors. Designed for use on the *ist D series of cropped sensor cameras, we take a look at how it performs.

Lightweight and compact; Consistent optical quality throughout range; Good value for money

Chromatic aberrations under some conditions; Autofocus a little frustrating at times; Manual focus ring small and rotates during AF

Pentax smc DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED

 

It does what it says on the box. Which is everything I wanted it to. It's easy and quick to attach and remove. A joy to behold. It has both kerb appeal and useability. What more could you want or ask for!!

No bad points, all plus's

Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED SMC DA WR review by Jon Schick

 

As with the 18-55WR, it's nicely put-together and feels a step up from many other kit lenses (including the older Pentax 50-200). Nice metal mount, and a thoughtfuilly-designed lens hood that allows the use of polarising filters. It's biggest selling...

Weather resistant, very compact and reasonable performer for the price

Performance a bit variable depending upon focal length and aperture

Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED SMC P-DA review by wavefunc

 

If you want a low-cost, small, and/or lightweight zoom for this range, then this is the perfect lens. The image quality isn't the greatest, but is as good as one could expect at this price and weight. I got it because I wanted a telephoto zoom that I...

small and lightweight, very good image quality for the price

Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED SMC P-DA review by dreamlogic

 

I bought this lens as a cheap way to cover the 100-200mm range and the 1:4 macro, not expecting much from it in the image quality department. I was very surprised by how well it performs, even at 200mm. Images are much shaper than I expected and the...

affordable, very good for the price, decent bokeh, 1:4 macro

slow (f/4-f/5.6), seems fragile when fully extended
