Originally posted by mwong168 Do you think it's a pricing error? I just order one too right now so hopefully it will get processed tomorrow. Don't know if I will use it everyday but at this price it will be a good investment. I was checking ebay prices and it is ranging from $75usd-$115usd. Someone on here picked it up from amazon.com for $59usd so you never know.
I got this lens a few weeks ago and love it! Right now I am debating my next lens purchase, I was at Henry's today and checking out the Pentax 12-24 and Pentax 18-250. I know they are both completely different lenses and I know down the road I will own both but the question is which one will make it in my line up first
Well if its just the grip selling at this price I would think its a price error. But the ebay price of BNIB K200d body is going for <$400USD these days, probably the vendors got wind of something and clearing out K200d and accessories.
Worst come to worst the grip can only be used on the K200d only. Something new is in the line (ie: K300d) and the accessories won't fit...who knows!
The FA50 has been on my list since the day I bought the K200d but I wasn't sure about getting it or the DA40. But heck the f1.4 and the sub $200 CDN price tag finally lured me over. I know it will come in handy in those X'mas party shots.
Can't say much about the 12-24 as I don't own one. I have the 18-250 its is great for the range and convenience. I don't shoot wide or extreme telephoto (yet) so this lens is the all-in-one solution for me.
