Again referring back to the issue, the Pentax 135f1.8 lens, they are out of production, who cares what it cost to make them initially, someone was happy with the price and bought them. There is still a demand however Pentax don't supply them, previous owners do, so people pay whatever the cost is to acquire them from said previous owners, simple.
