Except for the Pentax ring flash I've not had any problems with P-TTL
and A lenses. I'm on my thrid AF360 FGZ used for in field macros.
Unfortunately P-TTL and snap in focus is a bit of a problem simply
because of the delay due to the pre-flash - the camera and subject cna
move a lot in the 1/15 of a second or so between the pre flash and
actual flash firing. I used snap in focus a lot with the Pz-1p but
basically stopped when PTTL came along.

Very nice shot indeed, Bill.
I used to have the A*200/4 macro but sold it when I realised that
P-TTL didn't work properly with A-series lenses. I miss the snap-in
focus, though. That was handy with bugs.
Then I bought Stan's FA* 200/4 a year and a half ago. Hope I'll be
able to give it a good workout this summer.

Not the A, but I do have one of the very rare FA* 200/4 Macros. It's
very nice.
I read somewhere that there were only 200 made. I don't know if that is
true or not.
Here's a picture taken with it:

Never seen that before. Jesus I hope that's going in a pdml annual at
some point. Stunning!
