I replaced the old manual focus one with the new AF lens. Regardless of the fine
qualities of the manual focus lens the new FA* 200/4 ED macro is simply astonishing.
Its incredibly sharp at all apertures (includes wide open and F:32) and has a bokeh
to die for. It also offers inner focusing something that gives far better handling
than with the old version. Its larger and heavier though. In spite of urban myths to
the contrary, AF is VERY useful for macro.
Its quite possible the best Pentax lens ever.
