As if I really needed a reason to not get the DA50-200mm.
I've never done an actual test but the FA28-200mm is more than
adequate on a *ist-D, (it doesn't always show since I often take
shots in marginal conditions).

Here are three of my "best" lenses pitted
against each other.
FA28-70, DA50-200 and FA24-90.
The 24-90 is from a wonderful list member
who got it replaced after a brief dunk in
water. 6 hours later I had it cleaned and
on the D and _I Love It!_
Dear wonderful list member, (you know who
you are) *** Thanks!!!!! ***
All at ~70mm, wide open (4, 4.5, 4.5) at a
bit over 1 meter from the USAF test target.
100%, cropped and white point set.
Saved for web so give each one a few lpmm
handicap. ;-)
Repeated several times to be sure the results
were correct.
A bit of a surprise to me.
