It really does the work it is advertised to do and it really done well. It’s Bokeh is very good and very pronounced (just as a macro lens would) and it does soften images just a bit (it’s Ok for my standards). The lens is quite heavy and really picks up handshake though, so it will require a tripod for sharp images.

It can produces amazing close ups that I would not able to do with my Nikon 18-200 VR lens. If you have the money to buy a macro, then please do and forget about this lens, but if you are somehow in a budget, then this little piece of glass really shines!!! Highly recommended!!!

I buy this close up lens to go on my Nikon 18 – 200 mm VR lens. It makes my lens even more clear and versatile. When I keep my zoom lens on my camera most of the time, the close up filter allows me to quickly take close ups by just screwing it on the end. It’s so convenient, and more cheaper than buying a macro lens. It also fits easily in my camera bag.

After looking that extension tubes and finding macro lenses so expensive, with Nikon not making a close up lens any longer, someone in a forum mentioned this close up lens. It works with high quality. This lens works great with my 18-200 VR zoom lens and the photos are focused and crisp. Autofocus works excellent with this lens.

Amazon Customer Comment

This lens is very well-made and takes wonderful pictures. To address the most common questions people ask before they take the plunge:

Price: No, it’s not usually this expensive. I paid around $400 for mine, but I got it a couple of months ago. Apparently Nikon is having a hard time making enough of these. Rather than rewarding the greedy opportunists who are now charging exorbitant prices for this lens, I suggest calling local and smaller camera shops – they are much more likely to have one sitting on the shelves. It’s absolutely worth about $500, but I wouldn’t pay more than that. The Sigma (very similar, see below) is a better value at that point.

I bought this lens earlier this month with the K7 kit through Amazon. I have used the lens several times already at my sons football games. The lens coupled with the K7 takes very sharp jpegs with good color. It focuses very fast too. I’ve got some excellent action shots with this lens. The lens is also very compact and light considering its zoom capability.

By Rusty Miller

After much research and review reads, purchased the Pentax DA50-200mm F/4-5.6 ED WR Lens for use with Pentax K7 DSLR. Both items were bought from Amazon, and the service, shipping and quality were excellent, as has always been my experience.Now to the lens, lens is perfect for use along the Gulf coast in the high humidity, heat, rain environments. The lens is weather resistant, well constructed and sealed against the elements. Displays very high build quality overall and has excellent optics.

The photos uploaded to Amazon demonstrate this lens performance at the extremes – macro and telephoto. The photos were taken with the new K7 Pentax DSLR. Very fast focus and great looking pictures. See for yourself by checking the uploaded sample photos.
