smc Pentax-DA L 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED Lens

4.0

A compact, ultra-lightweight telephoto zoom kit lens for Pentax DSLR cameras.Most people will acquire the smc Pentax-DA L 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED lens in the twin lens kit with one of Pentax's DSLR cameras. However, the kit lens supplied for review with the K-m camera body looked a little different from the lens shown on Pentax's website. Like the 18-55mm kit lens, the test lens lacked the green band around the rear edge of the zoom ring and focus markings in metres and feet in front of the focusing ring and no lens hood was provided.
