I have too many 200mm lenses and will be selling this one, but took it out for one last spin.
Here is an image from today.

Yes, I fully understand.
However, the collection has grown and I really really do have too many 200mm lenses.
Some have to go and I will only keep a few.
I am lucky to have some excellent lenses to choose from and this is one of them. But I can't keep them all or they simply will not get used. Rather see someone else get the joy from a lens that produces images than have become a shelf queen.
This one is in near mint condition too.

I still have this lens and as it was the one to hand this morning, I grabbed it for these shots.
This female wallaby has a joey in her pouch - still hairless and busy feeding from her while growing. You can see the tip of its tail in the first one of the images - projecting from the pouch.
For the last twenty years, generations of wallabies have been using this sunny spot in our garden during winter mornings, to warm themselves and rest.
I think that she remembers it from when she was a joey - a year or two back.

Hmm, that is a good question. As I said, I have too many and something has to give.
I do like the Takumar pre-set and the Nikkor and the Yashinon DX.
Not sure that I have a most prized in prime 200's.
I really really like the Mamiya Sekor 645 zoom 105-210, even though it is a tad slower at f4.5

Out of those, I have been most tempted by the PresetTakumar, but I have just have not bitten the bullet and bought one. Rolling Eyes
