Re: Amazon - no respect for Pentaxoids
Am I correct that it's a manual focus lens? BTW, down at the bottom, I found this: http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Pentax-K100D-K110D-K200D/dp/B003Y2WUIQ/ref=p d_sim_e_6 About all I can afford right now, but they're the good caps with the flange that covers the edge contacts on 'A' lenses later. Hmmm. Looks more like an Oreo to me. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

The ones Pentax made with the little flange seem to fit tighter than the square ones they don't get knocked off as easily when the lens is inside the camera bag as the latest press-to-fit ones do. I don't know if these are as good as the Pentax originals or not, but they caught my eye. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Amazon - no respect for Pentaxoids
Today, Amazon has one of its pre-Black-Friday lightning deals: Rokinon 85mm/1.4 lens. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006C1ILUC/ They offer these lenses at a discounted price ($239-269, depending on the mount), but they offer only 3 mount options: Canon, Nikon (AF-confirm), Nikon DSLR. Pentax option is not on sale (nor Olympus or Sony)! Boo, Amazon! ;-) And you, fellow PDMLers, were complaining about brick-and-mortar stores.. Igor PS. Interesting, that Nikon DSLR version was claimed within first ~10 minutes or so, while the rest were still at 15% Canon and 38% Nikon (AF-confirmation) 35 minutes later. However, I suspect much were fewer lenses available with Nikon DSLR option. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Amazon - no respect for Pentaxoids
Larry, You are looking at the regular price. The Lightning deals are available if you click on Countdown To Black FRiday Deals Week link on the first page. Or, - choose Canon option from the same page, and click on the right hand side- toward the top Gold Box deal. http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=xs_gb_dtl_rtn_L_p# For Canon, it is still available at $239.
