In an act to trim down my gear, I actually sold this lens to a user in Canada. One month after the sale, I could not resist the temptation in buying it back about the similar price that I sold it for. The lens is reasonable in picture quality and I have great liking of the lens for few areas:
- Portraits -- that is right, I like to use this lens for my boys' portraits. It has similar color and quality with my Tamron 70-300 Di LD Macro in the range from 50mm to 150mm. It is quite sharp for its price and the lens has much less occurrences of CA.
- Lightweight -- I use this lens for walk around purpose with an emphasis on portraits and longer need as in hiking
- Close focusing is quite alright with this lens. I may invest a Raynox 250/150 macro adapter.
I may be making the wrong decision as I do have few overlapping lens, but one thing that I know for sure that the DA 50-200 stands out among my overlapping zoom lens is on its lightweight and highly usable focal range.
