If I remember correctly, I paid $125 about a year ago. It's an inexpensive, fun lens that if used carefully can get you some nice results. I like using it on a film body; love looking thru the viewfinder and getting the full field of view. I second the suggestion to buy from "zenitar" (Victor). A lot of people that frequent "the other forum" have bought from him and all seem to praise his quick shipping, etc.
If you get one, don't forget to attach the rear (clear) piece and watch out for the lens cap (falls off easily;lens can scratch because of the bulging front element). If you think that sighting Pentax users is rare, wait until some C or N user comes over to you when you have that lens on.
There is a very long thread on the other site regarding the use of this lens (written by Jonas?) that is virtually a textbook on using it.
