The Vivitar Series 1 105/2.5 and Kiron 105/2.8 are the same lens. So is the Vivitar 100/2.8 macro (1:1). The 100/2.8 is not widely known and so may be cheaper than the other two. If you need the PKA mount, look for it; these three models began as PKs and were later replaced by PKAs.
The Vivitar Series One 90/2.5 (1:2) is another great choice, but everyone knows it, so it won't come as cheap as some others. The Vivitar 90/2.8 (not Series 1) is a sleeper, a great buy: superb but not well known. All the 1970s and 1980s macros by Vivitar, Tamron, and Tokina, both 1:1 and 1:2, were quite good. Some Vivitars went by the Panagor and Soligor name; those specimens can be found more cheaply.
