On an APS-C camera it's like having a 200mm f1.8 for focusing and a
200mm f2.8 as far as DOF is concerned at any particular distance, when
compared to a Full Frame camera. If it lives up to it's reputation, for
optical quality, it will out perform any sensor with reasonable pixel
density. If you need such a beast the asking price could well be seen
as a bargain. There is literally nothing else in the Pentax system that
compares to it.

Agree with P.J.
An argument could probably be made for the fact that it isn't going to
sell for LESS in the future, so from that standpoint could be looked
at as an investment. If and when Pentax ever offers a FF camera, the
price will probably easily jump a grand (minimum).
Frankly, I don't expect it to be available for long before somebody snags it.

They're rare, and Pentax is unlikely to ever make another, so I guess that
they're worth that much to someone. If I had an unlimited pot of money, I'd
buy it.

Can it really be worth $2569 ?
