Originally posted by barondla Roentarre, I thought you just got a Pentax 200 macro? Are you wanting another? Or is there something you don't like about "older" 200 macros? More pentax people are asking for a 200 macro than the 35 macro! If there is any justice. It would give Tokina a 200 macro to sell as well - unless its a Limited. Please Pentax. I don't want no Sigma. I also want an extension tube with a rotating tripod mount like the Nikon and Olympus OM ones.
thanks

Hi Barondia, I
LOVE A* 200mm f4 macro a lot. It might be a little dark to use with exposure over 1 sec would be required on tripod at a lot of circumstances: Not all insects love to enjoy sun baths ...
I like Da 200mm macro for the sack of having autofocus with shorter lens barrel - that would fit into my Lowpro bag easily - a bonus using pentax gear having 6 lenses packed into a waist bag
A* 200mm macro f4 for normal telescopic shots is very good and I had shots on moderater Joel that showed up quite well. Very contrasty and no purple fringeing.
