Re: Backordered: SMC Pentax-FA 135mm f/2.8 (IF)
I'm wondering if these 35/2 FA lenses are a new batch, though. I had one a couple of years ago and this one seems the same in all respects. It's still labeled Japan, too, not Vietnam, so perhaps that's a good thing ... The serial number on mine is 52840XX. Anyone want to check their existing FA 35/2 lenses or any ordered from BH in that last shipment to see if it looks like a new batch was manufactured? Mine arrived last week from BH labeled Japan Serial#: 52838** I'm happy it was made in Japan all my other FA primes and zooms have been so far. John
Re: Backordered: SMC Pentax-FA 135mm f/2.8 (IF)
I had ordered a new FA 35mm f/2 from Adorama about a month ago. It had been listed as backordered for a while and has continued to appear as backordered on their site. They did deliver mine this week, though, but perhaps the lenses that came in were all sent out to fill backordered ones and there are still no new available ones in stock.

Backordered: SMC Pentax-FA 135mm f/2.8 (IF)
I was about to place an order with BH for the SMC Pentax-FA 135mm f/2.8(IF) lens. As recently as last week this was listed as being available as a special order item with a 7-14 day lead time. But today it now lists as backordered. I must not be living right. I'm still waiting on my SMC Pentax-FA 35mm f/2 AL from BH too. It seems Pentax is running some real shortages lately.
