What focal length are you looking for, what's the intended use and how much is your budget?

Lots of lenses claim to be "close-focusing" but be aware that this is not the same as "macro".

I've got a Pentax SMC 'A' 35 - 70mm f3.5/4.5 in one of my bags. If you're interested in it I'll dig it out
PM me if so.
Here are a pair taken with it. one "macro" and one distant. (The first one is cropped)

They go for around £40 on Ebay. A similar (arguably a better one) is the Pentacon f3.5 30mm?
