You'd do well to pick up some extension tubes, anyway. You
may find a combination w/ your 200mm that could be to your
liking. A little extension on a 200mm really reduces the
close focus ability and doesn't drasticly reduce viewing
ability TTL. Makes for an excellent "close-in" set-up which
you will undoubtedly like enough to use often and justify
the purchase of the extension tube/tubes. Results would, I
suspect, be superior to using one of the zooms. But you
didn't hear me inserting anything into the "Zoom vs Prime"
debacle ( ... er, I mean debate) here. ;^)
