Review on 📷 Pentax 21870 DA 50-200mm F/4-5.6 AL All-Weather Resistant Lens by Aashit Patel (Mansu) ᠌

An amateur lens with good performance. One of the cheapest lenses with moisture / dirt protection. The cheapest one is the 18-55 kit with WR. I shoot at k-30 and I am always satisfied with the results, because it is clear what to expect from this lens. I want to note the high build quality, lens hood included, rubberized focus and zoom rings. Also, this lens has a quick-shift system, which means you don’t have to switch the selector to the “manual focus” position, but you can just twist it. For those who like to talk about autofocus, I’ll say that in the K-30 - 50-200mm bundle there is only the topic of screwdriver sounds, but as we all remember, these sounds accompany all the masterpieces of optical art known as the limited series (they are limas). It should also be noted that, for example, Canon "screwdrivers" seem quieter to me. Moderately soft zoom ring. The lens pulls out the "trunk", but this will never happen spontaneously. The front lens does not rotate, so fans of all kinds of filters will not have to experience difficulties. Moreover, the lens hood has a window with a cover so that you can turn the filter ring without leaving the viewfinder. Metal bayonet. Picture quality. This lens does not pretend to be a star series, but you will be positively surprised by the results, especially given the cost. The only thing is sometimes you have to raise the ISO, or play with shutter speed, and then in the case of sunset / dawn. When I am in nature, he is always with me. During tests, the lens showed minor (minor) distortion.
