How could that be pentax's cost if they can Produce and sell the entire anti-shake for Only $100 retail? It doesn't make any sense Whatsoever. It's basically a resistor and A spring. I really doubt that it couldn't Be produced in qty for a lot less than $35 Part cost. The entire K1000 which has this Simple Part probably only cost $35 in parts. jco

The best information I have recieved is that the manufacturing cost per unit would be closer to US$35.00, and Pentax doesn't believe it is in their best interest to include this feature in their DSLR line.
