The DA 50-200 is a lot of lens for the money. Very good image quality. Build
quality is just okay, but I shot around ten thousand frames with one and didn't
break it. Sold it in like new condition when I bought the DA* 60-250. Of course
the DA* 50-135 is very good, but it's not inexpensive. I love the DA* 60-250
and use it more than any other lens. But I don't consider weight to be an
impediment. I shot with the 6x7 regularly for a couple of years. Now that's
heavy.

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a zoom to complement the 17-70/4 which I recently acquired to replace the 18-55 kit lens. I'm looking for quality optics without huge weight or huge price.
If the 60-250/4 was a little cheaper and a little lighter it would be a done deal, but it isn't.
Well, weight is an issue for me as well... but I would also like a zoom
with more reach than the Canon lens I sold to be able to buy it.
I'm leaning toward the DA 50-200... I bet the 55-300 is too heavy. I
want it for getting tight shots of zoo critters or birdies in the wild.
