Re: Convenient walk-around telephoto zoom

Thanks for the reply – as a further coincidence my brother's name is Andrew Gardiner, so I had do a double take when I first read your comment.

I am slightly curious in regard to your regret at not securing the WR version of the lens. Do you take your kit out into the elements often? I'm not ashamed to admit I am a fair weather photographer and prefer the indoors when conditions are inclement.

I can see the advantage on the beach, however, where defense against sand is welcome. Here is a shot I took on memorial day last year with the DA 50-200. This is the kind of scenario where I would leave an expensive lens at home for concern of security and grit exposure. No such worries with the relatively inexpensive DA 50-200.

Jersey Shore, Memorial Day 2018. 88mm f8 1/350s ISO100
