Tamron Lenses
We can highly recommend getting either the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 or Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 lenses, as they're more affordable yet comparable to the Pentax DA* 16-50mm. Read our in-depth comparative review of these three lenses!

I got my Sigma 70-200mm for around $1000 including taxes about 4 years ago ... when in the world they got cheaper for $1399!? O.O
I like the new widget for showing the lenses in a more pleasant manner!
Some time ago, I purchased the Sigma 50-500mm F/4-6.3 EX APO DG from (at that time) Sigma4Less. I don't remember the exact price, but I seem to recall that it was somewhere around $950-970.
The prices shown above are BEFORE rebate, but I don't think the MSRPs went up. Only Pentax is crazy with their lens prices!
Did most of these lenses jump up in price? I remember some of these being cheaper than what they are selling for now with the rebate.
