SMC Pentax A 50mm f2.8 Macro

This is one of the best manual macro lenses in Pentax lineup, it would be better if you could get the 100mm version (but the price will be twice as much, at least). This lens has auto aperture, so we can set the aperture from camera body. The good thing of setting it from camera body is the built in (or pttl) flash can adjust its power according to aperture being used automatically. This is very useful in macro shooting since you won't get overblown images. Unfortunately it has 1:2 magnification only, not 1:1, but still this lens is tack sharp and the color is really nice.

Some shots taken using this lens :
