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.
