I understand this about Macro entirely. Some people can use flash and handhold, and that makes sense when trying to "freeze a bumblebee" or something similar, but if I can slow down, take my time, and use a tripod, manual focus works far better for me on static subjects.

I have no personal experience with the A* 200 macro, only the A* 100. I've, however, read some good reviews. Personally, I prefer to manually focus when doing macro work. It tolerates my hyper-selective penchant to fuss with the scene without fighting me. Jack
