I was just browsing at a local camera store to do price comparison on telephoto lenses. The store stopped carrying Pentax a few years ago and had nothing compatible. As I am ready to walk out, the owner happens to walk by and says he thinks he might have something in the back. I walk out with the PENTAX 'DA' 50-200mm zoom lens for a whole $50. Brand new; unopened box, hood and covers and all; it was just collecting dust in the storeroom and the guy wanted to clear inventory. I just saw this lens retailing for $278 at Wally Wolrd http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=3936090
Sorry---but i am excited about the good deal!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
