I just figured listing the actual MSRP instead of the street price was a way of manipulating people's expectations, so that when they go to B&H or someplace and see the same lens for 50% of the price they'll be more likely to say "Hey, what a bargain!" and buy one. Either way, Pentax makes money.

But what's with having a photo of the FA 20 on the front page? They don't even make them anymore, let alone sell them on the website.

Wait a few months

Are you hinting that Pentax will go back to producing more FA lenses than what they're producing now?

That's certainly good news if it's true. Not only would it mean more lens options for us, but it could also mean that Pentax might be looking to do full-frame in the future, after all. I know FF is not for everyone, but just that upgrade path would get some buyers looking harder at Pentax. It would also silence naysayers some.
