Bizarre: Twenty Four Pentax 67 45mm f4 (NEW) on Amazon?
I can understand maybe finding one or two of these new (old stock) lenses on Amazon, but 24 of them? And each one from a different Ships from Japan seller? I don't get it. Some of these sellers with low feedback are probably just opening new Amazon accounts to sell under (which accounts for at least some of them, perhaps). http://goo.gl/WhPn57 In any event, I doubt there is anything paying anywhere close to that for this lens these days, new or not. -- Photography is a Bastard left by Science on the Doorstep of Art - Peter Galassi -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Looks like Pentax is holding auctions of warehoused new-old stock lenses. Ricoh tired of paying to warehouse stuff they'll never bother to sell through normal channels. Expect more.

I tried to trade my Pentax 7x6 kit for a K7 when they came out. Body, 8 lenses, several finders, bellows, tons of accessories, including many very nice B+W filters in 82mm size for the 45 and 75mm lenses, 67mm filters, fiders, and miscellaneous stuff.. My pusher said he wouldn't be able to sell it. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I bought a well used (brassing on the outside) 400mm f4 before the *ist D first came out for somewhere under $350 on ebay. I had shopped carefully and watched, and was pissed the next week when somebody offered a much better looking one for the same price. I'm shocked to see those prices now. You would be crazy to pay them. Regards, Bob S.
