I was frustrated with the lack of a ~50mm f2.8 1:1 MF macro lens in K-mount from Pentax until a found a Vivitar that did the trick. It's a 55mm f2.8 MF macro that does 1:1 without an adapter. I never could get used to AF macros, and I didn't want to go to the original Takumar macro (the only Pentax 50mm MF macro to do 1:1, IIRC), so this was the perfect lens for the LX.
