Sigh. I came to the same conclusion about the FA*200/4 macro: Just can't justify that much money considering how much I'd use it (even if I could find one). I suppose I might come across an A*200/4 Macro (which is what Mark Cassino uses) at a more reasonable price, but they're still pretty rare. I'm going to try my F 100/2.8 Macro on the 1.7x AF converter to get a 170mm f/4.7 lens. They're both excellent optics so it might be OK. And perhaps the Sigma 180mm f/3.5 EX Macro might be worth a look at "only" $800.00 or so... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
