Pentax SMC DA 50-200MM F4-5.6 ED Pro Reviews

Really a budget or starter lens, reasonably priced, but lacking the fast maximum aperture and expensive glass of more professional lenses

I'd say this lens gives the consumer good value for the money, with a better-than-average test result for sharpness. In the right circumstances (ie., 80mm and ƒ/8-11) sharpness results are excellent, but this does limit the lens to applications with strong natural or additional lighting. Chromatic aberration tolerance is fair, vignetting is good, and as is typical for telephoto zooms, distortion is a bit complicated but but not extremely noticeable. For the price tag, we've seen a lot worse results, so you have to hand it to Pentax: they've produced a good lens for a very reasonable price.
