Toralf... It's possible that Vivitar has discontinued this item, but eBay may be an option. They routinely appear for $50 to $75 used. As a matter of fact, it looks like Henry's has some on eBay now in a Pentax mount. Oddly enough, I couldn't find them at their on-line store. Be aware that there is an Auto version that includes KA couplings, as well as a non-Auto version that will be slightly cheaper. Like others that have responded, I also enjoy using this tool. The quality is good, and the price is right. I don't think its results would beat the 100/2.8 Macro, but I can't afford that lens anyway. t
