I tried this combo only once and my results didn't look nearly as sharp. Now I'm starting to wonder if my mushy details were from heat rising from the ground or something (it was in the desert). My A 200 is pretty sharp on its own.
The files are not absolutely tack sharp at 100% but the trees are nearly two miles away and the mountain 17 miles away. Although all the shots I took (12 in total) were set up identically there is some significant variation in sharpness ranging from unusable to printable to moderate proportions. I wouldn't like to print big with close viewing distances with any of them, but given the combo is not generally thought to be good I thought the good files were OK and could be of some use.
I don't think it was variation in atmospheric conditions that played a role in the variance. More likely vibration from wind, shutter operation, or both.
