Item Description Vivitar Series 1 105mm f/2.5 macro (w/ A contacts) -- $250 + $15 shipping (USA)
This is the legendary 1:1 macro (made by Kiron) that has sold under the names Kiron, Lester Dine, Rikenon, maybe others. I think this was the last version, and I also think the only version with A contacts. Labelled as an f/2.5, I think they fudged it and it is really a f/2.8 just like the previous models.
Anyway, this lens doesn't need much introduction. Performance is top-notch, although you will see some purple fringing at wide apertures. (This seems to always be the case with older non-APO super-sharp high-contrast lenses.) Manual focus only of course, but having the A contacts is a big help and allows you to use matrix metering and all camera modes.

Condition is excellent, no issues, very little wear, glass perfect. (Excuse any dust in photos.) It has a tiny amount of internal dust, which is perfectly normal, no effect. Does not include case, it has a generic pinch cap on front and Pentax 'A' style cap on the back which covers the contacts.
Price is $250 + $15 shipping for USA. I will consider shipping outside of US on a case-by-case basis if you have forum track record. (Shipping will be much more though, and you may owe import duties depending.)
Payment is to be via PayPal (I pay fees) shipped to your verified shipping address.
