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.

I know the sharpness of the lens very well, made some tests.

It's super sharp at 50, very good at 100, good at 130, at 200 it's sharp in the centre but it's still a very nice lens with nice out of focus blur and nothing strange going on.

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.

I did not mean to compare the two, in fact I can't cause I only have one

You said it was not good, I disagree and my images too.
