Hey there!
I currently have the old (yet decent!) Pentax F 80-200, but I've found the FA 80-320 (black version) available at a good price (for Romania, the lenses are more expensive here than in other parts of the world): around 90$.
I usually shoot flowers and bugs, so a longer tele would be a plus, but what do you think about these two lenses in terms of IQ? Are there any remarkable differences between these two lenses when it comes to the quality of the image they produce?
I don't really bother about build quality, looks and feel, the only things I care about when choosing a lens are IQ....and price, of course, since photography is just a hobby.
Thank you!

Thanks for the reply, it is really helpful as I had no knowledge regarding Adaptall lenses!
I believe the highest magnification ratio for zoom lenses you mentioned above applies only for Adaptall lenses - am i right? I'm asking because I also a lens named Pentax Tokina ATX 50-250mm with a magnification ratio of 1:1.4 (see the second picture from this link: Macro 1:1.4 (nu 1:4!) Pentax Tokina ATX 50-250mm/4-5,6 - Okazii (60829770) - listed for 100 euro, which also seems a little too much).

Hey fellows!
I found an Adaptall 85-210 auctioned here: TAMRON ADAPTALL 85-210 F4,5, MACRO 1:1,4 cu adaptor Pentax inclus IMPECABIL!! - Okazii (57181906)The price is around 75$ (56 Eur) and it also has a pentax adapter, which makes me think it will fit a Pentax K-r. The guy who sells it says it's in ETN state and has a magnification ratio of 1:1.4 (not 1:4, but 1:1.4) which would be great for close up pictures.
I haven't found anything about this lens, does anyone have it? Is it worth the price? What's the minimum focusing distance?
