Black Friday: Pentax Lenses up to 60% Off!

Massive savings as MAP restrictions are dropped, this weekend only

By PF Staff in Deals and Savings on Nov 23, 2012

For the Black Friday weekend (through Monday, November 26th), Pentax USA has lifted the online Unilateral Pricing Policy.  This means that you can save up to 60% on Pentax lenses at authorized retailers for the next four days- so be quick, and get your orders in!  For the time being, Pentax lenses are once again as affordable as they always should have been.  The prices will be honored even for back-ordered items.

We expect this sale to clean out both B&H and Adorama's Pentax lens inventory, so act quick if you'd like to secure these deals.  We have confirmed that the UPP will be back in effect next week.  Please note that you have to look at both retailers' pricing in order to get the best price: for some times, Adorama has lower prices than B&H, and vice-versa.  Refer to the table below for which store is cheaper.

All the discounted lenses are listed in the table below (basically every Pentax lens).  The are sorted by focal length, with primes first, followed by zooms. The DA* 16-50mm, DA* 50-135mm, DA* 60-250mm, and DA* 300mm with many prices half-off, and remember that there are some double instant rebates whenever you buy a lens together with a Pentax DSLR at B&H (refer to the table below)

As we reported earlier the Pentax K-5 is the highest scoring APS-C DSLR ever in DxOMark's tests and even scores higher than Canon full-frame cameras. You can't go wrong with the K-5 especially at this rock bottom price!
