None of my local stores that carry Pentax has the longer lenses on hand - they can get them in a couple of days. At the moment, I think there's only one 50-135 in town.
I'm curious whether the west coast of US/Canada has a history of being especially inclined towards Pentax. The Vancouver (BC) Craigslist typically adds 3-4x the number of used Pentax listings daily than what I see in other Canadian cities.

Fun question, but hard to answer definitively.
In Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver BC listings I see a lot of Pentax items compared with the eastern cities of my family and friends. Could be due, in part, to military coming back from Asian postings, to these cities being more affluent than many others with residents cycling through toys more rapidly, a larger proportion of the population being computer-savvy, or as you suggest more Pentax customers. I find the Craigslist items to be of high entertainment value on many levels.
