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
A strange lens indeed. Focus limiter? No macro? Hmmm. Might be rare,
though the box and packaging would indicate mass production. Maybe an
aftermarket mod? That would be my guess

what he is really selling.
2. The Lock screw looks to me like it is on the ring of some sort of
aftermarket rotating tripod mount,
Not aftermarket. It clearly shows in the paperwork accompanying the
piece. However, I'm mystified.

Is that included paperwork an official Pentax document? No Pentax logo
or any other company name/logo. It could be a slip included by some
company doing the modification.

The user manual shows the screw, so it wasn't an after marker mod.

A strange lens indeed. Focus
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

I can understand why someone would want to modify it for
macro work.
indeed close focus is about the only thing i could ask to improve my A 50mm/1.7

I wonder if it's some kind of add-on device intended to lock the focus
in place? Maybe the instructions are for the device itself.
