I was just at an Aden location this afternoon and prices should be adjusted on April, just mention it to the salesperson and if they don't honor it...walk away | |

| KEH did same with Nikon price increases
On Jan 14th 2009 Nikon announced 18% price hike for Feb 1st 2009. Within hours on Jan 14th KEH raised their prices the full ammount on new gear and adjusted their used gear up accordingly. Many lenses went up several hundred dollars a piece, just like that. Shop around, Pentax obviously let the dealers know of the price inflation and lucky shop owners get to inflate their inventory. What are you going to do once everyone raised their prices? You want it buy it or regret it and wait months or years for the prices you remember in early 2009 to return. I'd guess USA is in for same price shock. Dollars like loonies are pretty devalued. Maybe we in USA won't get a few hours head start before the price spike happens? I thought for sure Pentax would be immune to the Yen problem being since much of their equiptment is already outsourced to Philippines and Vietnam instead of being made in Japan like Canon and Nikon still does.

| Originally posted by farfisa Pentax SMC DA 40mm F/2.8 Limited Our Price: $449.99 CAD Pentax SMC P-FA 50mm F1.4 Our Price: $274.99 CAD Pentax SMC DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited Our Price: $699.99 CAD Pentax **Coming Soon** SMC PENTAX DA 15mm F4 ED AL Limited Our Price: $759.99 CAD  Gotta give a big hug to the FA50 and the DA35 ltd. Now all of a sudden the price of the DA*55 and DA15 doesn't seem too bad  I just pulled the trigger on the DA40. TheCameraStore still has it in stock for $290 CAN. Henry's and McBain Camera still has the old price but it is in "special order" now. I've been thinking about getting the DA40; I just can't justify getting it after having both FA50 and DA35 but the new price makes me pulled the trigger. If I don't need the DA40 afterall I think I can still sell it without losing money. | |

| Originally posted by ajuett I don't know about those prices. Eg, you said Aden has a DA40 going for $449 Cdn. Everywhere in town (Vancouver, BC) that lens is selling at about $289, I checked Leo's, Kerrisdale, London Drugs, BC Camera. I highly doubt the lens will go up 1/3rd in cost, if it does then whoever sells at that inflated price will be shooting themselves in the foot. | |
