That's the lens I was after for a long time. It's arguably the best macro lens ever produced by any manufacturer.
I settled for the Sigma 180mm 1:3.5 EX DG Macro as it was the nearest I could find to 200mm. It also serves very well as a normal mid-range AF telephoto.

Very nice indeed but way out of my price league. I hope it goes to a good home.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Mike if you stop buying all those useless flashes, you may own that now.

Just been looking at the FA*200 f/4. Strikes me as odd that someone would buy that lens at £1,800+ rather than the DA* 200 f/2.8 for £650. I guess the FA can be used with film cameras too, but is there any other reason to spend £1,200 more?

I presume we are talking about the 200mm macro lens, which is a very fine beast indeed. And very expensive.

Some say the very best macro lens ever made. By anybody. Ever.
I'd love a 200mm lens that goes to 1:1 but at those prices it's unlikely I'll ever get the chance...
