I know... I've been begging to catch one for ages... IIRC there
actually was one in the bay last year that did go for around half the
price but I missed it. I'll happily plunge up to my neck into debt for
one the moment someone decides to sell theirs.
Are you reading this, whoever you are?

Every once in a while, just for giggles & grins, I search for "Pentax
800mm f4". Always turns the same one up, listed as "In Stock, Used" -
priced something like $7600 with a button for "Make an Offer".
Always cheers me up after I've been working on my budget.
If I can manage to stick to the budget, my projected income exceeds my
projected expenses by about $7.60 a month. If I devote all of my surplus
towards it, I should be able to buy it in another 83 years. 8-D
