I once owned that lens. Okay, but nothing special I have the Vivitar
series 1 90/2.5 macro, first version, which is far superior to the
Pentax M macro lens, so I never missed the Pentax lens. I think I sold
it for $70 on ebay a year ago or so.

range.
$60 for a lens of that quality and usefulness is almost too good to be
true.
BTW, 50mm macro works nicely on the current pentax DSLR aps format.
Its
a little short but nothing like it was on FF 35mm.

I forgot to add : MUCHO THANKS to the engineers at Pentax for putting
the magnification ratio index on their macro lenses. This simple
technique would be impossible without them. THUMBS UP!
