I think I can go along with that. I'll tell you Bob, I think the
USA market for Pentax stuff is totally out to lunch. Used gear
in Canada is now getting pretty rare, it seems all the good
stuff has changed hands, but there are still deals to be found.
Even if it isn't a deal by Canadian standards, it is still more
realistic than what the American market values stuff at.
Last year, I facilitated the purchase of an A100mm f2.8 macro
for an American friend. He ended up paying about half of what it
would have cost him in the US, if he could have found it in the
first place. This was a primo condition lens. I thought it
looked unused, and it still was in its hard case, which was also
cherry.
If I find a K85mm 1.8, I will be keeping it for myself. You can
have the second one<G>.
