Some of the DA glass is quite good, although I've not done direct comparisons between some lenses and their FA and earlier equivalents (like the DA 14/2.8 and the A15/3.5). Some, contrary to what others here say, seem to be over rated, or better suited for some types of photography or images than others - but that's just my opinion. I really need more time and experience with some of the lenses.
A friend, who seems to spend more time testing than making photos <vbg - but he tests by making actual photos> was quite impressed with the 50-200. I've not seen the results yet, but I will soon enough. >From what I have seen, I'd say that the DA lenses are certainly good values.
