Yes, it\'s marked A, like the 150/2.8, 120/4, 300/2.8 and 500/4.5 (last 2 are APO). I believe the A designates the lenses that use special glass for superior corrections of aberrations, but these lenses are all MF. The AF series are marked \"AFD\", and they have no aperture ring so they can\'t be adapted. It looks like the longest AFD lens is the 150/2.8.
$700 sounds like a good price for the 200 APO. If you can put up with the weight and bulk of the lens, the results are very rewarding, especially for landscape photography (incredible sharpness from wide open, even though you get far too little DOF at f/2.8 for landscapes).
