For one thing you get a 1:1 Macro lens. Another thing is that you get quite possibly
the best ever 200mm made with the FA* 200/4 ED IF.
Manual focus is excellent with its clutch mechanism and inner forcusing design. The
200 Macro is as good in manual focus as any lens.
The importance of loss of speed can only be measured by yourself. Do you use the
200/2.5 wide open a lot?
