Originally posted by ftpaddict I wasn't aware the K*0Ds had problems with the 200mm. What sort of problems do they have? Over/underexposure? Or BF/FF?
PS I can hardly wait!
More of a problem with underexposure. It can be erratic at times. I cleaned the electrical contact and the problem still persist.
I guess I just had to find out its temper on k20d to know how to use it better
Originally posted by NaClH2O Nice shot James, the web strands really bring this shot to life. What problems does the lens have with the K10 and the K20? I will assume that since it is a macro you were manually focusing? I would be real interested in knowing as I have been saving up for that lens. (If I can ever find one)

It is the erractice auto metering that can be off sometimes. On k10d, overexposure is the problem while there is under-exposure with k20d. A* 200mm f4 macro somewhat takes ISO 1600 even to expose a flower under full sun! Kind of weird. Maybe there is more pixels to saturate or something...
p.s. you would love the lens when it is in your hands. It gives the edge to get interesting macros
