Re: Long macro lenses for K mount?

There were legendary A* 200 macros, I know some list members have a copy I have one, bought around 18 years ago - a one owner. They were still available new in Japan then, but I got mine domestically. I've had pro Nikon users ask to examine it - the were well aware of its reputation.
