Sharptastic lens!!

Excellent objectif
La qualité optique est excellente, dès f2,8 le piqué est bien là, seules quelques rares situations à f2,8 peuvent engendrer des franges pourpres dans des zones surexposées. Aussi, comme avec tous les objectifs bien lumineux, les zones de flous sont sujettes aux aberrations longitudinales (violet...

Pentax DA 200mm f/2.8 ED lens

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.

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
