$170 for a Sigma 105/2.8 EX macro in Mint condition? Sure is. KEH has two
for sale, in EX and EX+ condition, for $265 and $286.

Steve,

You got a good deal if it is in the condition described. I paid more than
$200 for mine and it wasn't as nice.

Thanks,  I hope it turns out as good as it looks, and
as good as described.  Does anyone know if the Pentax
1.7 tele will work with a Sigma macro???

Can't wait to try my hand at macro!  Of course, I'm
also hoping it becomes my favorite portrait lens.  I
couldn't pass it up at that price, especailly seeing
as how the new Pentax macros are going to be in the
$400-$600 range.

Thanks again everyone!

RE: Was this a good deal on a Sigma macro?

Isnt a MANUAL focus (only) lens preferrable for macro
rather than an AF lens used manually? Once again,
the DOF on Macro is very shallow and I don't think
you would want to rely on AF for that so a very smooth
Manual Focus would be very high on the list of features
you would want in a Macro lens if you are going to use
it at high magnifications

I don't have any experience witht eh lens pictured, but it looks to 
have a decent focusing ring at least.
As long as it doesn't creep to badly..
I'm pretty much with you on this one though.
