I have both the FA 100mm f2.8 and the A 100mm f4. The latter came as a
job lot with a ring-flash.
They are both superb, and if AF is not vital for you, I would recommend
the A 100mm f4. It's a lot cheaper.

So I just ordered the #195 F-100/2.8 macro recently listed at
ffordes.co.uk... I thought the price seemed a bit lower than what
Pentax macros usually fetch at eBay.. I guess the ones that pop up
there are usually FAs, but based on Bojidar's info I'm assuming the F
is essentially the same lens (and based on the pictures, I think it
looks better, too...)
BTW, if anyone wants a macro-focusing teleconverter...

Just yesterday one FA (without caps) was sold on E-bay for $317.26.

I guess you did well. (195 GBP =~ $350)
I am also considering buying one, but haven't decided what is better for
me:
the FA-D that lighter on my schoulder
but heavier[*] on my pocket (new, and thus more expensive), or
a used FA/F that is the other way around.

If I bought FA-D, my pocket would be lighter as well.. :-)
