Thought I'd let fellow pentaxians know that I got a da 15mm ltd from the site sponsor here b&h for $509......elsewhere $800 or so it is usually.
$34 shipped ups.....still good value if someone was chasing one
Cheers
hope its okay to say that here

Thats an excellent price. I paid $AU649 shipped last year when I bought mine. Maybe they are clearing stock, with all the will they wont they discontinue stuff thats around on the net. covering all bases so to speak. I note they no longer have the K-r.
And a great bit of glass it is too.![]()

It's a good lens. Adorama is the same price.
Best regards
Now to wait for the 50 1.4 & 35mm 2.8 to fall into a bargain bin!
I can only wish
Well, the prices have plummetted even in Australia. When I bought my first prime, the 35mm macro, it was $1399 at DCW (now $699) and god knows what at my local dedicated camera store. I got that for $650 or so from B&H. Nearly all the lenses were around the 900-1000AU mark when I first started looking. Lately I've been thinking local purchase is the go, for the warranty. Touch wood I have not had a single issue with any lenses bought from B&H but if anything did go wrong within the warranty period, sending back to NYC would be a royal pain.
I'd kill for a really good price on a 12-24.
And apologies to Rick, I also spread my purchases via pentaxforums and seriouscompacts who also have B&H affiliations.
Nice having the B&H option as the pressure is on to be more competitive in Australia. But some large camera shops still need to get their act together. * removed -see site rules 3-7 regarding complaints*
