O.K..... maybe I shouldn't tell you my secret, but here's what you do. Pick a town (or TOWNS) where you have a good friend (or FRIENDS) who will be willing to do you a favor. Click onto the Craig's List in their town and do a word search for either, Pentax, Lenses, Camera, etc. Then, if you find something you might be interested in, contact the seller, either by phone (if they list one) or by email. Then, if you make a deal, have your friend go over and pick it up and send it to you. That's what I did.... and looky what I got! So, as they say, the proof in the pudding is in the eating.

I found one of my favorite lenses, a Sigma 28-300mm Hyper-Zoom that way. It also came with a ZX-50 and a SMC Pentax 28-80mm Macro-Zoom, all LIKE NEW... in their ORIGINAL BOXES..., with owners manual and pamphlets for $50.00.

I found a ZX-60 with a Tamron 28-200mm Macro-focusing Zoom (Gawd, how I love that lens! ) both like new, in a very nice camera case for $15.00 at a yard sale. The Tamron has gone on to be my go-to lens, my favorite of all out of the 36 I own. I often sleep with her!

Give it a try and report any killer deals you find. They're out there, you've just got to root 'em out!
