Two Pentax K-mount macro lenses are offered. Both are 1:2 (half life size) macros, you'll need extension tubes or close up lenses to get closer. In practical use, 1:2 is plenty of magnification hand-held without running into issues of needing more light/stabilization/etc. These are also not much larger than their regular (non-macro) alternatives and of course their focus action is second to none in feel. Both have clean glass, clean aperture blades and they work perfectly on Pentax bodies with no significant scratches on the bodies, no issues of any kind in or on the glass beyond the normal bit of dust. Prices are set in line with what I paid and what I have seen online and in the local used camera shop.

First, an SMC Pentax-M 50mm macro includes box, case and caps. There was no hood spec'd for this model due the extremely recessed and tiny front element. Caps are original, case is pretty beat up and has a fluorescent green sticker with hand-written "MACRO 50" on the top and the bottom. Still very legible so I left them.​

Second, an SMC Pentax-M 100mm macro includes caps.​


Thirdly (that's an odd word), an excellent condition SMC Pentax-M 28mm f/3.5 which includes an original screw-in Asahi Pentax rubber collapsible lens hood (or a beat-up Takumar 28mm square clamp-on hood, at your preference) and caps. Very light dust inside this one, some very light rub marks/bright marks on the edges of the aperture ring and that's about it. Very small/light high-quality wide-angle choice for your K-mount cameras, quite stubby so it's almost a pancake sized street-shooter. Load up some Tri-X and get your street on!

Lastly, an SMC Pentax-M 100mm f/2.8 short telephoto lens. Hardly used condition, there's perfect glass and just a tiny bit of dust inside. Cosmetic condition is excellent, with the only flaw being a missing white aperture ring dot. It was gone when I got the lens and it seems to be solely cosmetic so I have not seen a need to replace it. I have multiple ~100mm lenses and this one would need to be destructively modified to be used on a full frame Canon body so it gets voted off the gear island before the M42 counterpart. Excellent IQ, great for portraits. This is not much bigger, really just a bit longer than a standard (Canikon) 50mm lens, so it's a great travel bag addition for more reach/separation from environment.

Please PM if interested or with questions or extra image requests. I take Paypal and money orders, and will ship internationally to most countries (buyer pays all international shipping fees). USPS will be used unless otherwise requested. I have 25+ transactions here, with similar number on Pentaxforums and 40+ positive feedback on eBay (100%).

Images of the 100/2.8 and 28/3.5. As I was taking new images for the 28/3.5, I noticed there are some light marks on the front coating. I don't like scrubbing on glass, so I didn't try to clean them off beyond just a light brushing with a new microfiber towel. So, take $25 off the individual price for the 28mm.

Bump. Anybody got a cheap M2/M3 that wants to trade? I have other K-mount lenses available as well to even out a trade.

I sure hope you still have these available as these are outstanding prices! I have the 50mm macro and it is an exceptionally sharp lens and now I want to try the 100mm macro so I sent you a PM for it. You did me solid on the FA2 previously so I have no reservations buying from you again!

I have no experience with those macro lenses, but own both the 28mm f/3.5 and the 100mm f/2.8 and they are both incredible lenses. The prices are very good!

50mm macro remains, the rest have been spoken for. $75 shipped for the boxed/cased 50mm macro.

PS: Seller's remorse is already kicking in hard on these items!

Les, the 100mm macro is as excellent as the 50 macro, IMO. Great prices, too.

I stupidly sold my MX and the 100mm ƒ2.8 a few years back. I missed this seller's 100mm, but I was able to grab the 28mm. They are indeed incredible lenses.

Especially great lenses when you consider just how compact they are. I've never been let down by a Pentax brand lens, be it M42 or K-mount.
