Nice excuses, if only they were true. But the fact of the matter is that
Pentax is in trouble - getting your products to market would be one of the
essential prerequisites of a properly functioning company.

The other store further up north, and they have 2 of the 16-45DA lenses

I don't know where the shortage is, but I suspect that it is with high
volume internet sales shops like adorama and BH. I saw two copies of
the 16-45DA at my local photo shop, the price was about $100 more than
BH, but at least it was local. I called another shop that I have used

Pål, I think it is best to let the facts speak for themselves.
The DA 16-45 has been in chronically short supply in the U.S. at major
online/telephone retailers (specifically BH and Adorama). Every few

several weeks again
they understandably expect demand for FA lenses
to be low.
Who knows - we can but speculate for now!!

Well it seems that maybe part of the problem is that people may no
longer be going to their local camera shop and shop online instead. The
prices are better and availability + selection has been better. But
