I asked a few questions about FA* 200/4 macro which was in stock in Poland a
few days ago. I went there today unfortunately in store it turned out to be
"only" A* 200/4 macro. As I wanted good performance at longer distances in
such a lens and A* users told me that it is not as good as FA* version
I have no personal experience with the A* 200 macro, only the A* 100.
I've, however, read some good reviews.
Personally, I prefer to manually focus when doing macro work. It
tolerates my hyper-selective penchant to fuss with the scene without
fighting me.

Hi Sylwek,
I have the A*200 macro, and love it. For stalking insects, nothing beats the
snap-in focus "feature" you get with "A" lenses on AF cameras. :-)
I have used it occasionally for landscapes as well, and I haven't discovered
anything bad to say about it yet.

I understand this about Macro entirely. Some people can use flash
and handhold, and that makes sense when trying to "freeze a bumblebee"
or something similar, but if I can slow down, take my time, and use
a tripod, manual focus works far better for me on static subjects.
