Although the 200/4 with a 2x adaptor isn't ideal, it is certainly a
workable solution within reasonable parameters (i.e. fast film,
bright days, etc.). However, since you already have the lens, why not
shoot a couple of test rolls, blow up the results and see what you
think? Even the best lens tests only begin to tell the story of how
a lens can be used.
