200mm · f/5.6
The RE Auto Topcor 200 mm f/5.6 is a compact, lightweight telephoto lens (451g, 127mm) with a built-in extendable hood and half-stop clicks. Optically, it delivers very good corner resolution from f/5.6 to f/11 with virtually no chromatic aberrations, comparable to the best manual-focus 200mm lenses like the Minolta 4/200mm, albeit one stop slower. Its slow maximum aperture limits low-light use, but it suits photographers seeking a portable, high-quality telephoto for well-lit conditions. Build quality is excellent, typical of Topcon's robust standards.
