I've found the 1.7AF works extremely well with the A 300/2.8, even on a PZ-1p (although nowadays I usually use the MZ-S with that combination). I haven't tried it with the A 200/2.8 yet, but I'll almost certainly test that pairing on the *ist-D as a lighter alternative, taking advantage of the focal-length multiplier of the digital body. And I'm definitely looking forward to getting a wider range of AF options. I haven't seen the sensor pattern yet, but I'm hoping there's a sensor lower in the frame than those in the MZ-S.
