I have just discovered a link to a dealer in Europe that is selling the
35/2A and the 200/2.5M--two scarce Pentax primes--at less than half what I
typically see them sell for. The list was just updated March 6, so the
lenses might well still be there.

What's the protocol for sharing this information with the group? If I just
tell everyone the URL now, the first person to get there and order will
grab it (or them.) I'll make no secret of the fact that I prefer that
scarce lenses go to users rather than collectors.

At these prices, there's a chance that these lenses are rather beat up, in
which case a collector would not be as interested. This dealer generally
sells at market value; I bought my 105/2.8 SMC there for $260, and the
company was selling a 28/2.0 SMC for $280 in October 2000.

But it pains me to think that some struggling Joe or Ivan has been
desperately seeking one of these lenses at an affordable price, and that if
I post the URL now, the lenses will get snapped up by some comfortable
collector who happened to beat him to the URL.

What should I do?
