Rank 1 out of 2FototestReleaseSeptember 2013

Der Testsieger im Segment der Universalzoomobjektive ist auch deshalb der Gewinner, da die Konkurrenz hier deutliche Schwächen zeigt. gelungen sind hier aber die flotte Geschwindigkeit des Autofokus sowie die kaum hörbaren Geräusch des Zooms. Dennoch bietet das Pentax Objektiv eine solide Leistung mit Verzeichnungen und deutlicher Vignettierung.

Color FotoSingle testReleaseJanuary 2012

Ein 28–200, dass nur bei mittleren Brennweite überzeugen kann, denn ansonsten sinkt die Schärfe in den Randbereichen stark ab. Auflösungen um die 800 Linienpaare, wie sie bei offener Blende in den Ecken auftreten, sind auch für ein Universalobjektiv kaum akzeptabel. Positiv fällt der Spritzwasserschutz des Objektivs auf.
