Promaster Spectrum 7 100mm F3.5 Macro Lens for Pentax at Amazon warehouse for $35.58

This is a good price for a 0.5x entry level macro lens. My copy has automatic aperture control similar to Pentax-A lens.

Link.

Edit: It's gone.

The autofocus version was sold by Pentax as an FA. My copy (labeled Phoenix) identifies itself as the FA in EXIF.

Thanks. I just purchased it. I needed an actual macro lens.

Congratulations! You may make it a 1x macro lens if you can find the specific 2x adaptor.

Enjoy it!

I'll have to look for it.

Looks like I need to send it back. It's an autofocus Nikon mount one.

Sorry to hear this. Amazon made a terrible mistake.
