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.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Lightweight
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

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.

VERY HAPPY WITH 50-200 MM (WR)
Got some great landscape, wildlife and people pictures at the beach. Good color, sharp rendition. Bought this along with the K7 kit that included the 18-55 mm. By adding this to the kit I have a good range for all types of landscape and wildlife photos.

Pentax lenses are value for money. the optics are first class. I like it.
First I'd like to talk about why I bought the lens. The dynamics of this lens is very appealing. To have a lens with full zoom capabilities throughout the range and close focus in a lens this size is uncommon at the very least.

It works as well as my Pentax 18-55 f4-5.6 WR lens. Now I have an essentially 10x capability. Remmeber to turn off the camera before swapping out lenses!

Typical kit len with WR
Pentax 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED WR Telephoto Zoom Lens is a typical kit len for Pentax K-mount DSLR products, it includes a len hood which is great for the bright light outdoor photo shooting. In addition, it is with metal mount apart from DAL lens from Pentax which is constructed with plastic mount.

I would give this item a better review if it was actually the item pictured and in the discription. It was a DAL lens (lesser quality w/o the quick shift focus) and not a DA lens. It would of been one thing if it was actually that was actually the item in the description (see attached photo).

I read some reviews about how bad this lens is but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I think I lucked out and got a good copy because I am very pleased with this lens. The only issue is the auto focus hunting a little. I would not discourage anyone from buying the lens on that issue though.
Pros:
- Sharp
- great walk around lens
Cons:
- AF

Great price and range for rough weather
As a beach comber, marsh stomper and kayaker I needed a weather resistant lens covering as much range as possible. Not only is 50mm just not wide enough for all outdoor work but my copy was not sharp enough in tele mode to make me happy so I returned it a
