Manual Macro Suggestions

I recently bought a K50.  It is my first Pentax, and thus I am starting from scratch with lenses.  Along with the kit zoom, I bought the 35mm f/2.4 when I ordered the camera from Adorama because they offered a decent bundle price for it.  I am also receiving a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 today, which I am really excited about, and which has nearly emptied my camera gear budget for the next several months.

That being said, I would like to pick up a used manual focus lens for some macro shooting.  (No particular subjects in mind.)  Prime or zoom is fine, but I'd like something at least f/2.8 or faster.  I am looking for suggestions for specific older, affordable yet good quality lenses for macro.  (I will have no other need for the lens.)

Thanks in advance.
