Item Description
Superb 1:1 macro lens in PKA mount

(Same as Kiron 105mm f/2.8, Lester A. Dine 105mm f/2.8 or Vivitar 100mm f/2.8). For some reason this copy in the A setting sometimes goes all the way to 1.2 instead of 2.4. It has happened to me a couple if times in cold weather. The body and the blades have rubbing marks but it works as intended. The grade for this lens in 9.73 / 10 in our database. Solidly built, extremely sharp and with a beautiful bokeh. More info and reviews here:

I remember when these were going for 300 bucks. Surprised there are no macro shooters snapping this up. I love mine!

It is even a good portrait lens if memory serves... This is BB King Jr with the Vivi 105 right after I got the lens.

Great lens with characteristic color rendering, have one already and can fully recommend it for macro enthusiasts.
