I always like it when I buy something that does what it says it will do. This lens does just that I own a Samsung GX20 and it works perfectly on this camera.

Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED SMC DA WR review by Jon Schick

As with the 18-55WR, it's nicely put-together and feels a step up from many other kit lenses (including the older Pentax 50-200). Nice metal mount, and a thoughtfuilly-designed lens hood that allows the use of polarising filters.

Weather resistant; very compact and reasonable performer for the price

Performance a bit variable depending upon focal length and aperture

New 50-200 kit lens is Water Resistant

I had just gotten the Pentax k20d body w. the 16-50 f2.8 zoom and was waiting for the WR version of the 50-200 lens. J & R had it first, and i had it the next day. The lens is nicely compact and lightweight. And i don't have to worry about the weather.
