At approximately \u003cstrong\u003e255g\u003c\/strong\u003e, the original DA 50-200mm ED is small and light enough to carry alongside a standard zoom without adding too much weight to your bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt also focuses down to approximately \u003cstrong\u003e1.1 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a maximum reproduction ratio of around 0.24x. This isn't a macro lens, but it can get reasonably close for details and smaller subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Client Transfer SS8","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47701202960438,"sku":"653314P","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4590\/5974\/files\/Pentax-50to200mm-4-5.6-3.png?v=1790138546","url":"https:\/\/www.sydneysuper8.com.au\/products\/smc-pentax-da-50-200mm-f4-5-6-ed-regular","provider":"SS8","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
