 That said, if you can find a clean one, it's a really nice lens -- the
close-up feature is very handy at times, and actually goes close enough to
be worthwhile. Sure, it's not a real macro lens, but it's let me carry one
fewer lens and still get reasonable closeups on things. The downwnside is
that it can be pretty awkward to hand-hold 200mm macro shots..
