You attach a 50mm lens and you get a 1:1 100mm macro lens. I once saw
a comparison between this set up with a Pentax 50mm f/1.4 and the
Pentax F (or maybe FA) 100mm f/2.8 macro and the images were
practically indistinguishable.

yellow Asahi Pentax filters to sell, also a few others:

Y2 Asahi Opt. Co.

O(G)

The 6x7 100Ø looks
If you mean genuine Pentax, you should check Boz's page, where you'd
find that, no there were no A contact helicoids made by Asahi. Kenko
and probably others, though they might have been just rebrands made a
set of A extension rings but I don't think they ever made a Ka extension
helicoid.
Blessed are the pessimistic for they shall never be disappointed.
