Originally posted by patk i there is, by the way, no doubt in my mind that if your order confirmation says you ordered and paid for an fa* lens, that is what you should get. a first-rate retailer will pay for return of the wrong item and ship you what you ordered.
Thank you. What I ordered was described as an FA*200 - with a file photo of an FA*200 as an illustration. You can't get much clearer than that.
Even the specs they posted in the detailed description were for a FA*200. (eg weight was given as 785grams as opposed to the 825grams that the DA*200 weighs).
As far as I'm concerned, I ordered an
FA*200, not a DA*200. The invoice I received with the package states "Pentax SMCP-FA 200 2.8 DA* ED SDM (IF)" - so it seems they are covering both bases - but the fact remains that even the invoice starts with "FA".
Like I said, if I wanted a DA*200, I would have bought a new one.
I see that B&H are selling them for $959 with cheaper shipping than I got with 'my' $899 used one.
