Pros: Good sharpness at full aperture, quiet and precise focus, rugged

Cons: Inadequate Autofocus, missing tripod bracket

Opinion: Taken used equal to the new, I'm really happy with the purchase, and I am naturally comparing it with the "Big Brother" 300mm F/4 that I already own. The materials, as traditionally Pentax, are sturdy, of excellent quality and well assembled. Optical qualities are out of the question; Clear the right in the center at full aperture, it is a little ' less at the edges than the 300mm, but being an F/2.8 instead of a F/4 is there. Closing one stop sharpness improves on the entire frame reaching the great levels of the elder brother. Compared to the latter, which was perfect as well as pulled out of the box, with the 200mm I had to calibrate the fine autofocus on a + 7 because it had an obvious back-focus. About autofocus, this mirrors all the lights and shadows of the 300mm: The SDM is very quiet and a surgical precision, but alas also quite slow and not equal to the other great qualities of optics. In my personal opinion is not very suitable for fast moving subjects (for example motor races or very fast animals), but for everything else is fine. Last negative, maybe it was worth predicting a support bracket for the tripod as for the 300mm. True is that compared to the latter is lighter than about two, but still weighs more than 800 g and in different situations, especially in the vertical shots, would have done really comfortable. However it is a very valid and highly recommended goal. Rated 8

Pros: all

Cons: anything

Opinion: I arrived today, I noticed that even at full aperture is sufficiently clear, extremely quiet the maf, always usabilissimo af 4 up to f13, I find it also light with lens hood, crystal clear well as pictures of birdlife with moving subjects, used with k -1 pentax in ff mode do not see any vignettatura.ho tried to 2x multiplier kenko but does not work the maf, I think it works only with the multiplier pentax to 1,4x.molto happy with this purchase and for now only use this lens to do everything , we hope it lasts
