Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax-A* 200mm F4 Macro ED Yes, it is an expensive optic, but it is also a very good optic. And it is still up to date today and performs excellently! Built like a tank and focussing is still smooth after all these years. The lack of AF is not to be rated so negatively with macro - with the good, clear viewfinders of the Pentax cameras, focusing even works freehand. The longer focal length allows a slightly greater distance and you are usually outside the flight distance of insects. The locking on the right side is clearly annoying at first, but you can get used to a lot - so only a small point deduction. Here are a few macro shots from the last few days...the young blue tit is an example of what the lens can do as a "normal" 200mm. All pictures were shot without tripod! https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38025-bratzmahn/albums/14412-200mm-macro/picture141455.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38025-bratzmahn/albums/14412-200mm-macro/picture141454.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38025-bratzmahn/albums/14412-200mm-macro/picture141453.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38025-bratzmahn/albums/14412-200mm-macro/picture141452.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38025-bratzmahn/albums/14412-200mm-macro/picture141450.jpg https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/members/38025-bratzmahn/albums/14412-200mm-macro/picture141451.jpg
