The price is about $40 to $50 low for the PKA. I have the PK version; I recently sold my Pentax SMC 105/2.8K and kept the Kiron. That should tell you how happy I am with it, even though it's larger and much heavier. It's among the best-built, smoothest-operating lenses I own. The PKA version is seldom seen; I incorrectly stated a couple weeks ago that it wasn't made, but it was, like its Vivitar Series One 105/2.8 twin.
If you want a reason not to get it, it's this: For a lot less money, you can get the obscure Vivitar 100/2.8 PK 1:1 macro, which is exactly the same as the Kiron PK. By the way, I shipped the Ricoh lens and TC on Tuesday.
