Review Summary

I purchased this lens for low light indoor use and outside sporting events. With the AF/MF switch on the lens it allows you to use catch in focus as if it was a manual lens. Very important for quick shots. I've got the DA*50-135 and this lens compliments it well. I also have an F*300 for even longer shots. This lens fills the void between the two plus it's excellent for taking indoor shots in low light. Highly recommended.

A great telephoto lens in a compact light weight hand holdable package. You get the equlivent of 300mm f2.8 lens crop factor when used with a Pentax APC sensor camera. Great for wildlife and sports photograpy. The lens tack sharp and renders beautiful color and great bokeh.

Every aspect of this lens impresses me each time I use it. The weight and balance works easily hand held. The auto focusing is lightning quick and manually is butter smooth. Images are crisp and clean with deep color. It is built like a tank and I have no reservations about shooting with it in any weather.

It's a REALLY good lens, You just want all your lens set to be the same. The only problem would be the weight of your backpack then.

The high performance DA* 200mm ED (IF) lens incorporates an SDM system which creates a smoother, quieter auto focus. Featuring a Quick-shift Focus System, switching from auto focus to manual is instantaneous.
Developed specifically for PENTAX digital SLRs, the DA* 200mm ED (IF) SDM lens has PENTAX SP coating which protects the exposed lens elements, and a focal length equivalent to 300mm in the 35mm format.
Weather and dust resistant, it's the perfect lens for extreme weather conditions.
