Thanks, Boris! I started out thinking that I had to have that 200mm macro, and was surprized ot see that alternatives have been sitting in the bag all along. It's a good reminder to explore what you can get out of your gear.
Though, I am still hoping that Pentax will be able to fix the 200mm. They've had the lens since last Friday, so hopefully news will be coming soon...

You appear to have proven yet again, Mark, that a good photographer can extract the best from their gear, whereas the said gear does not have to be the best of the best of the best. It is always a pleasure to look at your work, no matter which lens or TC you use.
