Hi there,
For what it's worth I bought a Sigma 70-300 last weekend in Zhengzhou, China in the electronics market area for a little less than $200 so the prices there were higher. Then again, I walked all over that part of the city and only found one store that sold Pentax lenses. I also bought a K10D to replace a stolen K110D in Shanghai and paid maybe $200 more than I wanted. So again, prcies were higher. I've also had a hard time finding stores that carry Pentax lenses (or Sigma, Tamron) anywhere I've been in China so far. Nikon stores all over, Canon stores are frequent, even saw quite a few stores selling the Sony Alpha but Pentax is hard to find.
When I leave China I plan on going to HK and pick up some lenses there. It's supposed to be much cheaper from what I'v heard.
Hope that helps.
Slick
