If I'm right, it might explain why Pentax won't assemble them all just
for the fun of it.

whh... not too fast. I am starting to think that i could better
replace my smc tak300/4.0 by a sigma 300/2.8Autofocus.
You know, this is the Netherlands. We cannot look far enough to
motivate the purchase of a 600mm lens. A 300mm, on the other hand...?

I have the F* version. Same optics. It's a wonderful lens, produces
marvelous images.
Buy it and join our 600 Club.

Which is more likely; the seller not being entirely truthful, or that

I got a whole list - 3 or 4 Costcos, a couple of gun shops, an outdoor
shop (a la REI, but not REI - who does sell Pentax binoculars), one of
the two real camera stores in the area and several Wolf and Ritz Cam
BTW -
What's shown in the snap is the older "F" version.

The Costco in the area doesn't carry Pentax. I do get the address of a
couple of Gun stores though. Make a hell of a sight for my Howitzer.

With price considered, I wouldn't stockpile 600mm/4 even if I thought
there was a small market, if delivery time is 2 weeks like the auction
text claims. OTOH, lenses like the SMC 500/4.5 were made to order for
maybe a decade after it was officially denounced.

The US branch of Pentax still considers it a current product. It could
be old stock or the could still be making them. Each distributor is
semi-independent and only supplies it's market with what they think will
sell.
