Originally posted by ChristianRock Sometimes you can find the Sigma 50mm f2.8 Macro, the old manual focus model, for around 100 bucks or less. There always are a few on Ebay at any given time.
Nice, but the only ones on EBAY (Canada) at the moment are $200-ish, I will look out though.
One Pentax 100mm one one ebay at the moment, reasonbly good condition...
Personally I prefer a longer focal length (100mm is about perfect).
I can also use M42 lenses, currently have an adapter (proper, infinity focus adapter (doesn't matter much for macro (really))).

Yes, that could be a problem...
