oh yeah, I got he smc-m 50mm F4 lens for $60 on ebay mint but with ding rim which I fixed in about 10 minutes. Is this a good time for buying quality used lenses or what. Its an excellent performer at macro range. $60 for a lens of that quality and usefulness is almost too good to be true. BTW, 50mm macro works nicely on the current pentax DSLR aps format. Its a little short but nothing like it was on FF 35mm.

MACRO W FLASH tips I forgot to add : MUCHO THANKS to the engineers at Pentax for putting the magnification ratio index on their macro lenses. This simple technique would be impossible without them.
