The M can usually be had in better than decent condition for under
$60.00 and I think it's a real bargain at that price. There are
probably sharper, but not by much, and closer focusing 200mm lenses, but
most are unlikely to be as well built, (with a built in lens hood that
seems to be actually useful).

Is that Cosina different from the Pentax A/M200 or the same lens under
another name?
The M lens was made in the days before massive re-badging. I expect
that it's a different lens.
I suspect you're right about this.
Still, if anyone happens to stumble across an example of the Cosina
going cheap, my advice is to snap it up.
