The DS2 is a Pentax USA problem. Getting lenses other than DA or D-FA
in Canada gets pretty iffy.
In the past little while (within the last 2 years), I have bought both
an A15/3.5, FA31/1.8, FA50/1.4 and an FA200/4 macro through PCI with
no problems.
Delivery 31 and 50 was within days, I was told the 15 was a special
order from Japan and it took 6 weeks, the 200 Macro took a few weeks.
I'm not having any problems getting what I want out of PCI.
I suspect that it is more an unwillingness of most retailers to bring
in high-ticket items without cash up front.
Bill -- when I bought my DS2 I wanted a fast 50mm with it, preferably a
1.4. Pentax Canada had an F series 1.4 and an FA 1.7 in the warehouse,
and said that there HAD been an FA 50 1.4 for a long while but that
someone bought it. So I guess I have to blame you!
Actually, I'm very happy with the F.
