Originally posted by pepperberry farm interesting, mainly in that this lens has been out of production for ten years.... where has this one been hiding?
Once in Laredo Texas in one outlet store i find severals F50 1.4, AF. 1.7x teleconverters and some F100 macro, and some Sigmas and Vivitar lenses for Pentax, the F50 and the tele1.7x with very good prices about 70usd, other F100 was expensive at 600usd, the sigmas and vivitar were "meh" lenses, and they have more for other mounts... I recall a vivitar serie 1 wel regarderd for but was for Y/C...
So i think once the most photostores closed and dont selll their old stock maybe some of the outlet stores buy very cheap in bulk the lenses.
