Oh, but they've brought into the 20th century, and added a tripod
collar to save the poor camera mount plate.
And how can a reflex lens have 8 elements in 6 groups? My 2000mm ƒ10
Celestron 8" has a mirror, and a secondary mirror. They must have
packed a few elements into the small barrel to magnify the image from
a 6" design to make it 2000mm.

B&H started showing the 2000 reflex a couple of months ago I
believe. The last version of this lens was an M, and it was in
production from 1982 to 2004. An earlier K version was produced from
1979 to 1982, and I think it was identical. Perhaps Pentax told B&H
that they had enough parts to assemble a couple of them. At one time
B&H promoted the FA 600/4 in the same manner. They're probably
considered a good clearing house for limited-production specialty
items. Or maybe B&H found some NOS glass in the back room. It's
anybody's guess.

I was poking around the B&H website and noticed that they had the
Pentax 2000mm f13.5 reflex lens. First I thought it was used but
it's
just special order. When did that appear?
