Sit down, take a tight grip of the chair arms. Retail price, _with 18-55
(Pentax, not Sigma)_ �799. No doubt at all that you would get maybe �50 off
that without much effort. However.... ordering from the USA would be about
�300 cheaper at present exchange rates and probably more after Christmas.
Assuming no import duty or other taxes were added.
I am _almost_ tempted. But not much.
