Are you saying the A*200/4 is unusable on the *ist D? How? IL Bill

Hi Bill, The over-hang of the RTF sticks out so far that apart from making the aperture ring difficult to access it also prevents the 200/4 Macro from being rotated to allow portrait orientation as the control knobs hit the protrusion. So it is usable but it's a right pain when you are used to just spinning the camera/lens on the tripod mount to frame the subject.

Re: A*200/4 Macro manual?
Does anyone know if the A*200/4 Macro came with a specific manual if so I'd like to obtain a copy by any means, the Pentax manuals library has nothing specific. Rob, when I originally picked up my A* 200/4 Macro (new - rather unusual for me - g), it did not have a specific manual, but just a generic Pentax A series lens manual. Fred
