Stan,
I think they are playing you! ;-P) FWIW, B&H shows me $1800 (1796.95) for 70-200/2.8: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1117718-REG/pentax_21330_hd_pentax_d_fa.html And 24-70 is $1296.95: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1187673&gclid=CjwKEAjwqdi7BRCL6Zmjk5-rsTwSJABmrVabZoGPDi5i_OEnh9GjuMb18HrQWraV3GFsE2SF25mRbhoCAHfw_wcB&is=REG&ap=y&m=Y&c3api=1876%2C92051678642%2C&Q=&A=details BTW, there are two "used" 24-70 at about $1100-1150: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=pentax+24-70%2F2.8&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search= HTH, Igor On Jul 1, 2016, at 12:07 PM, Stanley Halpin wrote:
I have been dithering. Just not sure if I want/need the 15-30, 24-70, 70-200 lenses. I ultimately descended into the depths of analytic consideration: I constructed a spreadsheet-type layout of my current and possible new lenses for APS-C, FF, and 645 cameras, and then stared at that for hours. Trying to anticipate what I would take on my next few planned trips, how I would carry it, what shots are “must have”, etc. And at least for now I do have all three bodies. Each has unique features, I already have a fairly broad set of lenses for the 645 and APS-C, but not for the K-1. Particularly if I want AW and quick-shift AF. So throughout the last few weeks as I have been agonizing over this issue, B&H helpfully, through the magic of cookies and other modern magic, has been popping up thumbnail teasers of their ongoing special deals. Throughout, the 24-70/2.8 has been right at $1300, the 70-200/2.8 right at $1800. This morning was the same. I clicked through to B&H and was shocked to see the 70-200/2.8 now at $2300! I jumped over to Adorama, their prices are still $1300 and $1800. I ordered both lenses. I’ll worry next week about whether I will keep one or both, but it seemed that if I waited it might cost me $500 or more above what I had been expecting. stan
