Welcome to Pentaxland...This has been a major issue for... ever :-)
For a long time there were few stores outside of B&H and Adorama that stocked Pentax.
Then a year ago more or less, Pentax changed the MAP sales policy for online sellers in the hopes they could get brick and mortar stores to compete - with the result of higher lens prices.
