The A 15mm f/3.5 was a special order, and I was told there would be an extensive wait. The wait ended up being about 3 months. I also bought a 31mm LTD, which took around 3 days to arrive, and an FA 50mm f/1.4, which was a week or so. All in all, I have no complaints with lens delivery times. I can't explain what is happening outside of Canada, though. Perhaps you should be looking at Canada as a source, if Pentax USA isn't interested. William Robb
