Comparing the image to my FA 50 f1.7 - the outer barrel appears to be
the same size but the inner barrer in the image is as far out (or
further) than mine is at the closest focusing setting. As toher's have
commented - probably modified for macro work. I hve used my M 50 f17 for
snow crystals as it is every bit as good as the Sigma macro and M 50 f 4
that are my other mainstays. Very sharp corner to corner. I can
understand why someone would want to modify it for macro work.

This one is new for me. I have never seen a FA50/1.7 with lock screw. It isn't
even listed at http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/normal/index.html ,
but the user manual in the picture suggest it is made by Pentax.
Does someone here know more about it?
