I don't know about the USA situation, but here in Canada they ARE sitting on the warehouse shelves. In many cases they had a lens for five years before it sold and did not re-order.
Heck, they have brand new, 20 year old A* lenses up here. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: Re: Logic of Pentax. Was: Miffed at Adorama (Gotta vent!)

If the sales were "dreadful," the lenses would be sitting ona shelf in a warehouse. Apparently, there are none available. I would say the sales were "capacity constrained." "Dreadful" is when you can't sell out the production run.
