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

Great lens.

An exceptional lens for the money.

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
