So where is the focus set on this picture?

The bee image have a 4mm DOF (by calculator) and it's manual focus , probably on the bee before it flew away.

But this is the isse with 50-200 - no sharpness at the long end.

Interesting you mention to crop from a shorter focal length, I made some experiments with it and it's not a bad idea, but I like the blur and optical zoom is more fun.

Sure. But difference between 150 and 200 is small, while 150 S provides more blur anyway. But only in out of focus places, objects in focus are sharp, as they should be.
