seen this one recommended on Pentaxforums .com and gets some good write ups there. there are some gret insect pics taken on there with it too. its sitting 20 quid cheaper than amazon and one on ebay for a lot more good buy I think.

If you already own a 135mm lens then buy a cheap set of Russian bellows off E bay. It will set you back all of £10. You might need a Pentax M42 to K mount adapter, depending on your 135mm's mount. That will give you better than 1:1 macro and much better than Raynox for considerably less cash ! Derek will confirm that this arrangement can be hand held around the garden with no trouble at all. Google "how to use macro bellows" for instructions (it's easy).
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/122-lens-clubs/74221-raynox-macro-club.html seems to get great results and as a real novice at macro think I am making the right choice. Although have never dealt with Photo 24 before so might get it off Amazon and pay a little more.
