Originally posted by fsge 1200 USD for last pentax innovation, it will soon end up around 800-900 USD so why not. Curious to know how it does compare to the Sigma 50 Art
It took the first generation SDM lenses 10 years to drop in price. They were at the highest they've ever been year ago when my DA*60-250 was selling for a higher price than Paid for it. If the 60-250 is any indication, it will go up before it goes down. Typically, the price doesn't fall on lenses until a new generation is released. These lenses will be close to this price for at least 5 or 6 years, probably more.

mine is 2039
With 2 thousand active participants out of 78,000 members, it goes without saying, even among registered users 2 out of 78 is 2.5%.
Just counting non-active forum users, if 10 is 2.5% there are 400 forum umembers with the lens, If franc has #2000 x 40, assuming they are all sold and there are back orders that would be 80,000. If you start guessing based on the number of forum users that have them, you aren't going to get accurate information. There are simply too many unknown factors. Basically, if Pentax doesn't tell us, we will never know. And Pentax never releases actual sales figures. Nor does anyone else.
