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.

I have no issue with the size. Fits well in the small bag and usually I just have it attached to the camera in hand.

Is it really even fair to compare the two with the price difference?

Why not? Price of S lens is for light (2.8), build quality and weather sealing. There is nothing premium about 200mm 5.6.

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

I didn't like it too much before S lens were announced. You see the IQ and have other lens to compare. Not even to compare one all test - casual pictures speak by themselves.
