When I got my new B&H catalog, it had the old price, something like $1,746. I called B&H and got Chuck, very nice sales person, who carefully quizzed me about my lenses to make sure it was really the K-1 that I wanted. Then he agreed to sell the K-1 at the catalog price. He had me buy it through the Pentax
Forum portal at the new $1,900+ price in order to give PF the credit for the sale, and then he asked me to email him with my order number and he would refund the extra amount above the catalog price. I do not know if he was making me a one-time concession, or if he would do it for others who inquire about the low catalog price. Well, if not, there are sure to be some nice discount prices coming soon as we move into holiday season.
Anyway, my K-1 should arrive today, and I am looking forward to mounting the 77, 31, and 43 (consecutively, I mean) and capturing a few images.
I also have been debating jumping directly to Z, maybe just buying the FA 75 and using my collection of 645-A lenses, but dropped the idea as too expensive as the K-1 is probably more suitable for my uses.
