Review on πŸ“· Pentax 21870 DA 50-200mm F/4-5.6 AL All-Weather Resistant Lens by Kevin Folsom

Excellent lens for amateur photographers

I am an advanced amateur photographer. I always shoot in RAW and manually. This lens can definitely provide sharpness. The colors are great! (but then again, Pentax always nails the colors. I'm just saying). I could not detect any distortion or color fringes in any of my images. The build quality is fantastic, seems very solid. It's a lot smaller than I expected, same size as the 18-55wr. Pleasantly surprised! Very light weight. compact. lots of zoom! F4 is the fastest aperture this lens can achieve, but I usually just leave it at f/5.6 when I need maximum light. In bright light I leave f8 - f11 and boom, at these apertures the lens really shines. If you're in low light, use a high ISO, use a tripod, and slow your shutter speed. If that doesn't work, try Flash. Fantastic lens, weatherproof, small, light, right price. buy this lens.
