However, I just happened upon http://www.beachcamera.com listing
the FA24-90/3.5-4.5 AL IF for a remarkable $199, new. Beach Camera
has an excellent rating on resellerratings.com
I have bought a PZ-1p and my *ist D from Beach, both transactions
without any problem. At the time I bought my D (late October 2003),
the first batch had sold out everywhere else and only Beach had it.
They do charge high shipping fees. The main problem with Beach is
that they don't carry much Pentax stuff.
Hmm. Well, they list the 24-90 as in stock, free shipping (7-10 day
service) or $7 shipping (3-5 day service).
Couldn't help myself ... at $200, I ordered one. Now I'll be able to
do a direct comparison of the two lenses.
