Just like last year, almost all Pentax lenses are being discounted at B&H and Adorama for Black Friday.  Save big on these lenses from now until Monday, December 2nd, when the prices will return to their normal levels.  Both stores have different deals, and in this post, we summarize the best deals from both.

Big US Pentax Lens Sale

September 3-8th, 2014 (during Photoshop World)

By PF Staff in Deals and Savings on Sep 3, 2014

Pentax USA has dropped lens prices for 3 days, from September 3rd until at least September 5th, 2014, to attract customers from at the upcoming Photoshop World conference in Las Vegas. Considerable savings on the Pentax K-3 have also been announced.

These price drops come in the form of instant rebates and will be available at authorized retailers.  They have just gone live on the B&H Photo website.  Adorama is only matching some of the deals, but still offers select lenses for less.

Thanks to these rebates, you can save $20-300 on nearly the entire current Pentax lens lineup.  Refer to the table below for details.

D FA* 70-200mm F2.8 US Price Reduced

$500 MSRP reduction

By PF Staff in Deals and Savings on Mar 16, 2016

The MSRP of the HD Pentax-D FA* 70-200mm F2.8 pro telephoto zoom lens has recently been dropped by $500 in the US, down to $1799 from the original price of $2299.  The first shipments of this lens have already started going out worldwide, and the lens is in stock at a number of retailers.

At the new low price, the Pentax 70-200mm is considerably cheaper than the equivalent offerings of both Canon and Nikon.  Along with the Pentax 15-30mm F2.8 and Pentax 24-70mm F2.8, it is a core part of the full-frame fast zoom trio for the new Pentax K-1.

In the US, B&H Photo and Adorama are accepting orders and have the lens in stock:

It is also available from the official Ricoh web site. If you've placed a pre-order earlier this year, rest assured that the new low price will be honored.

Though originally announced last February, the commercial debut of the 70-200mm ended up being delayed by nearly a year due to necessary optical optimizations.

While we've had the opportunity to handle this lens at three separate trade shows, we have not yet been able to test its optical performance.  Stay tuned for this in our upcoming in-depth review!

Learn more about the 70-200mm in the official announcement, or view its specifications in our lens database.

Pentax 2014 Holiday Deals

Big discounts on cameras and lenses continue

By PF Staff in Deals and Savings on Dec 15, 2014

Black Friday is long gone, but holiday promotional savings on Pentax cameras and lenses continue— something that we hadn't seen in prior years.  In fact, nearly every Pentax lens and camera is still on sale in the US, and some prices are actually lower now than they were at the end of November.  Furthermore, very few discrepancies in pricing remain between the "big two" US Pentax retailers.  The only deals that are truly gone are those that were offered by the Pentax web store.

This extension of the rebates is likely an adaptation to the changes occurring in the camera market, as many other manufacturers seem to be doing the same.  The majority of the deals listed in this post are valid through December 31st only.

In addition to fantastic pricing on the K-50, K-5 IIs, and K-3, a few interesting price drops include:

The table below lists all the current savings on Pentax gear.  If you're still on the hunt for gift ideas, don't overlook the Pentax K-50, DA 35mm, and DA 50mm lenses.
