What does the new price of the A version have to do with the price of the SMCTS? They are not same form, fit, and function. The "A" only fits pentax cameras, while the SMCTs can be used on many different brands for example. Another factor is the collectablity factor. The SMCT is a "out of print" collectable, the A15 is not if they are still making them. Last nail in the coffin is the aspheric design, some of the SMCTs are aspheric, none of the A15s are. JCO

I find that absurd, since the A versions are selling brand new for not all that much more than that. William Robb
