Hi,
in the UK, most places have it at £249, higher than other countries because of taxes, but that's life.
I saw a few on Amazon.co.uk a bit less £210-220 ish but shipped from Taiwan, China etc.

So, I bought this from an ebay seller

PENTAX 06 TELEPHOTO ZOOM 15-45mm F/2.8 Lens for Pentax Q Mount 027075217546 | eBay

£121.76 + P&P + proper import duties.
Well it arrived last night, at a total legitimate cost of £155.64
Amazingly it took 2 days to cross the world, then another week to get "processed" in the UK!

Ok, it may have it's down sides re warranties and returns, but well worth it I though.
Very happy. Just need some bloody decent weather now to take some pics! Next weekend were away, so will try then.

You're not alone! In some ways, the world felt better and my trust in the Postal services were higher before internet tracking. Carl from Norway
