Pentax 15mm Limited Down to $549

Price falls after last week's increase

By PF Staff in Deals and Savings on Jul 4, 2012

The price of the Pentax 15mm Limited lens, which we reviewed for you a couple of weeks ago, has unexpectedly fallen to $549 today, down by $100 from $649 (MSRP).

Once again, the lower price is only available at Amazon US and B&H Photo, and retailers such as Adorama still show the old price. Based on the short duration of temporary Pentax lens price drop last month, we believe that this offer will not last, even though Pentax's recent pricing policy is far from predictable. If you were otherwise interested in this lens, this is your opportunity to secure it!

Pentax July Price Drops & Deals

Savings on the Pentax K-30, Q10, and WG-3

By PF Staff in Deals and Savings on Jul 1, 2013

As the K-50 and K-500 DSLRs prepare to replace the Pentax K-30, K-30 kit prices have seen significant price drops in the US. This means that if you're looking to step up to a DSLR, or if you want a weather-sealed camera kit at a good price, now is the perfect time to get one! The new K-50 is virtually identical to the K-30, so you will not be missing much by getting a K-30 at these new low prices.

The Pentax K-30 DA 18-55mm WR (metal mount) kit, previously with an MSRP of $799.95, has just dropped to $599.95. In addition, bundles containing the 35mm and 50mm prime lenses have all dropped by $50, and instant rebates, valid through July 31st, deliver added savings as shown in the table below:

Kit Contents	Price	Savings	Link
Pentax K-30 + 18-55mm WR	$599.95	$200	Buy Kit 1
