Have not used the other brands - from what I've seen, the Pentax 200mm
macros are among the best there are, if not the best.

I used the Pz-1p for some time before getting the Mz-S, and I still use a
Pz-1p for birds. The flash capabilities are excellent - you have a fast
maximum X-Synch speed (1/250th) and flash compensation built into the body.

It depends on the situation. For hand held macro shots flash is the main
source of light, with the tripod I either don;t use flash or use it only as
fill.
