High "old school" quality/
I've had this lens for 2 yers now and it's always a joy to use. It's based on an old film design and the AF isn't as quick as you'd like sometimes, but the image quality is right up there with an y 200mm lens made.

Excellent full-frame long telephoto prime
Although marked as a DA* cropped sensor lens, this lens covers full-frame very sharply, even in the corners, without evident vignetting. I tested this lens at f/8, which I would expect to use outdoors, the primary use for a long-tele lens in any event, so I have no data about its sharpness near...

Someone could complaint about the speed autofocus of pentax lenses. Maybe, they would change their minds when shooting with holy DA* 200mm. It would be perfect adding the colar-ring.
Pros:
- holy fast autofocus
- sharpness
Cons:
- non colar-ring

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.

Pentax DA* 200mm SMC f/2.8 ED (IF) SDM Review
Pentax's 200mm f/2.8 fast-aperture prime lens is one of those products that inspire confidence from the outset. This is unsurprising because, being a DA* lens, it is intended for demanding users and has been designed to withstand taxing conditions.

The lens does what it says on the box, price so, so. I guess with practice the photographs will become what we expect. Easy lens to use for the correct picture.
