I found an A50/2.8 Macro with perfect optics and a bit of finish wear from use at the local photo shop about a year and a half ago for $130. Excellent lens, works great, extemely sharp yet remarkably good rendering for general purpose use. Allows 1:2 without additions, add a 25mm extension tube to get 1:1 macro reproduction ratio.
