Anyone who says the 50-200 lens is bad needs to get there eyes checked. I have the 50-150 and it's a struggle to get "ready" due to it's size. Is it really even fair to compare the two with the price difference?

I don't think it makes sense to compare these two lenses in depth. 50-200 is a compact f4-f5.6 for 200$ and the other a premium lens, weathersealed and a constant f2.8. I would like to own both but I would still use the 50-200 sometimes .

The 50-150S do have a construction of 20 lenses (4 ED lenses and 1 XHR lense), 9 aperture blades and a constant f2.8. The 50-150S is clearly the more advanced construction as it should be.

That do not make the 50-200 variable aperture f4-f5.6 a bad lens, ofcourse.

I wonder if the 50-150 didn't exist I wonder if so many people would still say the 50-200 sucked.
