Actually, that's purely according to the laws of supply and demand. There's enough supply of the Canon's that there is no shortage, and enough demand that prices are quite comepetitive between retailers. Pentax lenses, which are in lower supply and demand, have a restricted number of sellers and lack the inter-vendor competition that keeps Canon lens prices low. You'll see huge price spikes with Canon or Nikon lenses when the demand notably exceeds the supply (See Nikon 18-200 VR, which hit 50% over MSRP on eBay at points over the last year, due to ongoing supply problems and massive demand) -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
