Pros: Detail, engraving, color rendering.

Cons: Against age, for the price with which you acquire on the used market (a hundred Euros), none.

Opinion: Excellent objective, to be carefully evaluated in the composition of your kit. Even for those who have been using Pentax for almost forty years like me. For example, in macro seats even outside, he flanks it with the tamron 90 analog coevo, but it is extremely heavy: in the mountains every weight increase is felt on the back. It is, of course, essential to state it, although it can be used with some satisfaction by freehand.

Pros: Very clear on the whole frame already from f2.8 (but I recommend f4 for better depth) light light real colors

Cons: Very sensible ring nut almost impossible to use in everyday life

Opinion: Be AF would be the top of the range! It records more light than a modern macro 100 so you have to know how to make natural light with reflective panels and be very tired with the flash (which I personally do not use). I'm 50mm a bit limited for the "classic" macro (maybe It's better - A 100 macro f2.8) but great for still life. Of the various pentaxes, for price-quality, I place it under the two smc-A 50 f1.4 and f1.2 just above the FA 50 f1.7 but much higher than any modern pentax 50, including the macro. It is not easy to find it immaculate at a good price, because, despite its 30 years, who does not spring it up.
