Pal, do you even read things on this list? There always seems to be at least one thread of having looked for months for some particualr lens, that are easy to get in some other brand. Yes, there were millions of Pentax lenses made, but of the K mount MF lenses sold in NA, probably over 90% were 50mm. Pentax was a value camera here, and few people invested in a lot of OEM lenes. 15 minutes of looking on US e-bay tells the story. Try to find a 105/2.8 K mount Pentax. Now look for a Nikon AI 105/2.5. It doesn't matter how many Pentax 105's were made, there aren't any for sale.
Not in Norway Bruce From: Audun Jensen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pentax lenses aren't rare. They are among the most common out there. I believe that many a sitting on their Pentax lenses. There are about 26 million Pentax lenses made. If you want to include medium format lenses (that can be used on Pentax 35mm bodies) you can add another 700 000 (approx). In comparison, Canon have made 20 million. Pål - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
