"Well, nobody's perfect!"
Amazon might assign some [slightly] higher weight in their suggestions to
certain products over some other products (still fitting the same
relational criteria) based on other commerical interests. But I don't
think that Amazon, who is considered one of the champions (if not The
champion) in the "big data" efforts in the effectiveness of offering
"related" products, -- would decide to consiously override the
outcomes of those efforts that easily.
Besides, - after looking at that link below, I am getting a full "line" of
recommendations from Amazon for exclusively Canon lenses.
So... PJ, - can you guarantee you never ever looked at any Canon lens?
(e.g. like in this case, - by following a link)?
Or.... maybe now Amazon has a way of looking in your deep-secret dreams?
Com'on, PJ, come clean! :-)

Interesting. I can't see a rational explanation for that UNLESS Amazon
is now SELLING product placement in "Recommended" based on keywords in
your search/viewing history. If Canon is paying the most for those
keywords, they may get "inexplicable" representation in your search
results.

Now I've never bought any Canon centric equipment from Amazon, and I often,
search for Pentax gear to check competitive prices, so what it Amazon's top
recommendation based on my searches and what I've told them?

It looks like a neat lens, affordable and if I could figure out how to
mount it on my K-5II I'd probably buy one. But then I could get used
40mm DA XS from KEH for about the same price. So, it's used, but at
least it would mount and focus...
