Actually the 50-200 was until recently 199$ (B&H, including the white one!), and I haven't seen any not worth at least 50% more than their retail price.

That`s because It's all there is and all there is going to be - it works OK but it`s poor compared to almost all of the DSLR 55-200 offerings (including plastic mount kit ones and  sigma and Tamron variants ), and add in sample variation which is rife in this lens (Decentering is common) ..

I think only the Sony E-Mount one is worse and still can`t believe anyone could make a mid-tele zoom so bad optically .

I am surprised that you find your 20mm sharper than your 30, and I could add that my favorite NX lens, is the 45mm one.

the 20mm isn`t sharper than the 30 in the middle, the 30 is amazingly sharp there - it`s the edges wider than F5.6 where the 30 is a let down , it`s both sides so its not decentered or anything ..... the 45 is excellent but not a focal length I`d use much ..
