Those German street prices are best prices from geizhals.at, most listed from
dnet24.de, a dealer I've never used before (Foto Thun in Eisleben, Eastern
Germany, charges 5 EUR extra when you fetch it from the store)

So 30 % off is hardly to beat in Germany (where Pentax is much less known
than CNM). However, the set lense DA 18-55 is a bargain ;-)
