The 24-70 2.8 is also down. But the 150-450 seems to be pretty high and going higher. Shoulda got this when it was $1700, now its like $2500. On Fri, Feb 10, 2017 at 11:12 AM, Mark Roberts wrote: > Gonz wrote: > >>Back down to its earlier lower price of $1796 at B

Good. Maybe that will mean my new 15-30 f/2.8 (got a call a few minutes ago - it has arrived) will be back closer to $1250 than to $1450. On 2/10/2017 11:36 AM, Gonz wrote: Back down to its earlier lower price of $1796 at B again. It had gone up in recent months to as high as $1949. --

Ok, I was looking at a chart of the exchange rate for the last month. It had gone from 103.83 yen/dollar to 109.11 yen/dollar. The low point appears to have been some time in August, with the dollar strengthening since then. When did the price change take place? On 11/16/2016 10:34 AM, Gonz

Well the charts for the year show that I can buy less yen for the dollar now than at the beginning of the year, so the yen appears to be appreciating. Well at least to me, but maybe the chart I saw was wrong? On Wed, Nov 16, 2016 at 9:01 AM, John wrote: > Except that

Yes, I suppose the reception has been extremely positive and the laws of supply and demand push the price higher. The good news is that this may provide some badly needed infusion of $$ and momentum for the brand. On Mon, Nov 14, 2016 at 8:23 PM, P.J. Alling wrote: >

The jump happened just about a month ago. I am suspecting it could be a pre-pre-Black-Friday trick. ;-) If you are interested in buying K-1 or any other Pentax gear at the lowest prices, I'd say, watch Black Friday sales (and Cyber-Monday) at B and Adorama. The past 2-3 (if not 4?), the
