FW: Pentax lens price Drop
This just in, from a PF email alert... You may resume your regularly-scheduled enablement! Sure glad I didn't pull the trigger on the $1500 DA 16-50. But, I must confess -- I broke down bought it recently from KEH, still for less than the new old price. What can I say? I'm weak. :) -c (PF email below...) Now that the business week has started, we can confirm that Pentax lens prices have dropped dramatically in the US, and are now going to be closer to their pre-price-increase levels (i.e. those prior to April). We have summarized the old, post-increase, and new lens prices for all Pentax lenses here: http://www.pentaxforums.com/news/pentax-lens-price-drop.html We're very happy to see that Pentax lenses have once again become affordable, and we will update you via a homepage news post should we learn more about Pentax's reasoning.

Re: FW: Pentax lens price Drop
Yea, but all the lenses that are on my short list except the 15mm f4.0 stayed the same or went up. Though it's nice to know some of my collection are appreciating in value.

I purchased the * 60-250 just before the prices went up. I didn't purchase it with the intent to sell it later, but after handling it, I decided it wasn't for me. After the huge price increase on that lens I breathed a sigh of relief that I'd be able to get my money back. That just became a little harder. Oh well, I'm still glad the prices dropped. :) -- Kent Brede http://kentonbrede.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
