Posts: 67 | Pentax DA* 200 macro f/4? What's the chances of this lens beoing announced? The A* and FA* versions are very hard to find, do you think pentax will relaunch this lens for Digital SLRs? |

Posts: 137 | I'd rather have it ~150mm to keep the weight down, but definitely weather-sealed. 100mm is too short for me, and the Sigma 180mm, while excellent, is quite heavy. |

| Guest Posts: n/a | I think a reincarnation of the FA* 200/4 Macro after the FA*200/2.8 -> DA* 200/2.8 pattern (new mechanics, small optical updates, new coatings) would be most beneficial for the Pentax brand. And I bet they could sell a lot more than the 1000 some of the FA* were ever made. Radu |
