Believe me, I take no pleasure in re-hashing this ground again, but gee whiz....new buyers need to be very aware because this has got way out of hand.
DA* Pentax 60-250 f4.
(All prices converted to Australian dollars.)
Australian on line pricing: $2699 - $2849 plus freight.

Needless to say I am not buying locally. I would like to, but be damned if I am going to be ripped off by what is nothing less than crass profiteering.
It has been a great credit to the people from B&H Photo & Adorama that they have contributed to this forum from time to time......the invitation is now extended to the Australian importers and online retailers to defend the indefensible.
Cheers
Grant
