Questions & Answers

Shopper : Will this lense work on Pentax k-s2 does it have af and stabilization ?JAMIN K : AF will work normally on the K-S2 but keep in mind this lens has a screwdrive AF mechanism so it won't be particularly fast or quiet. Dependable though. The lens isn't stabilized but your K-S2 has IBIS (a great Pentax feature at this price point) so it doesn't matter unless you want to use this lens on an older, non-stabilized body (there are those that say lens stabilization is better than IBIS at telephoto lengths but I doubt you'd notice a whole lot of difference).BRIAN S : Yes, yes, stabilization is in the camera body.
Shopper : Will this lens work with the Pentax k50 camera?MICHAEL R : The DA 50-200mm will work with the K50 body.I use the lens on my K5 and K30.WILLIAM C : Mine is mounted to a K5 and works flawlessly. I am not familiar with the K50 camera body. However, all Pentax lenses will fit all Pentax cameras; its the same mounting hardware. If the K50 supports the auto focus feature, even better.THOMAS B : Truth be told you will have to check the Pentax website. I have a Pentax kx and it works great on that but I have no knowledge of the K50. Tom BlevinsDAVID Y : Yes, it will work on the K50. A lot of people are vocal about not liking this lens, but I find it useful especially outside in bad weather.LUCY S : I'm sorry I bought it as a gift. I know nothing about cameras or lenses. So sorry I can't help.
Marion P : will this work with pentax K- r red camera?JERI R : I own a Pentax K10 and a Pentax K7, and this lens is compatible with both of those. Have looked at the K-r red online only, but I would think this lens would be compatible with it.DAVID L : I have no direct experience with the K-r red, but I believe it should work. The SCM-DA 50-200 is for KAF mount and the K-r red has a KAF2 bayonet lens mount "... which is also compatible with KAF3, KAF, and KA mount lenses ...."GREG B : i have lenses from a pentax me. these lenses fit my pentax kr. i think pentax is the only one that lets you use thier lenses on most modelsCHARLES R : will work with k-r, k-7,k-5 or any other k mount Pentax. :)....I use it more than my 18-55mm wr GEORGE L : Yes it will. Pentax lenses, past, present and future are designed to work with all Pentax models.HOUSE T : It should.MATTHEW C : It should, I use it with my white k-x and I believe they have the same lens mount. JULIE K : I have the green K-r Pentax and this lens works beautifully with it. It stays on the camera more than any other lens.DAVID D : Yes

Quality and Pricing...is a Pentax Lens.

Size and weight are perfect for me to like. Photos are very good. Focusing is fast in my Pentax K-5 IIS. The price can not be better, plus it is weather resistant.

Great lens and decent range, 50-150 I think quality is very good, after that you start to loose clearity and crop avail.

Absolutely love the quality of the lens, the light weight and WR makes this a go to lens for sports or animal parks where you want to get close up and hold great quality for crop etc.

Great price and range for rough weather

As a beach comber, marsh stomper and kayaker I needed a weather resistant lens covering as much range as possible. Not only is 50mm just not wide enough for all outdoor work but my copy was not sharp enough in tele mode to make me happy so I returned it and bought the da18-135 WR. For the money the da50-200 WR is reasonable value but Pentax makes far sharper lenses for a little more coin. If you are on a tight budget and already have the da18-55 WR and dont mind changing lenses then the 50-200 may work for you.

VERY HAPPY WITH 50-200 MM (WR)

Got some great landscape, wildlife and people pictures at the beach. Good color, sharp rendition. Bought this along with the K7 kit that included the 18-55 mm. By adding this to the kit I have a good range for all types of landscape and wildlife photos.
