With a lot of respect, Rob, I mentioned only two zooms, both of which are
way above the average quality of consumer zooms. And the two very
expensive f2.8 Pentax zooms have both been on Ebay this month.
As for the FA* 200mm macro, a couple have been for sale in the past six
months, and had I so wished (translation: had I had the cash) I would have
bought one.

I have to say that I'm more interested in the availability of good

all the Limiteds (bar the new DA), and 20mm, 50mm 1.4 and 1.7, 100mm 2.8
macro, 24-90mm, 70-210mm, and 300mm, all of which are F or FA lenses.
Plus a number of A, M and K lenses.
That's pretty good in my view. If I'd wanted a long tele I have seen
several for sale.
Pentax's alleged dearth of lenses hasn't been a problem at all.
You are kidding, try and buy something other than a consumer zoom, an
FA200/4
macro perhaps?
I hope for my sake that the used market for Pentax lenses remains
buoyant.
