I just saw this using that horrible great website that lists new sales
Yes, it's a top deal for a pretty rare lens. Go for it LennyBloke, you know you want to.

Beautiful lens if not a tad pricey, however, they are increasingly hard to find especially in tip-top condition like this so on balance perhaps good value for someone in the market for one of these.
What I like about Vintage Classic is that I've always found their descriptions very accurate. They appear to take a pride in their sales.
I won't be buying because I too already have a lovely copy.

I have used a Kiron made Vivitar 100mm f2.8 macro for several years, mainly for flower macro and film duping/"scanning". The Vivitar is a great macro, very sharp and with precise long throw manual focussing. The only downside to it is that it is heavy (656g). The Pentax A100mm 2.8 is much smaller and lighter (470g). Although I have have not had much time to photograph with the Pentax yet, I am impressed with the rendering and the wonderfully smooth focus mechanism.
