Yes, at least mine vignettes quite a lot wide-open at 200 mm, all gone at
f/8.
Sharpness etc. is IMO very good, and the close-focus of 0.85 m at 200mm is
extremely handy.
I had a chance to choose the 50-250/5 instead at time of purchase, but f/5
is to slow IMO. And the 50-250/5 doesn't have the close-focus option. If
it's sharper than the 65-200/4, it can't be very much. That I nowadays could
sell the 50-250/5 for (much) more than I would have got it for then, well,
that's another story :-(
