Originally posted by kenafein That's true. It's one of those lenses that goes for way more in Pentax mount. I bought my 100-300/4 for less than half what you can buy it for in Pentax mount; and it has an HSM motor, too. The big two are a little spoiled for choice.
I noticed that as well a while back with the 100-300/4. I guess I may get a second camera and a lens instead of just a lens? It's funny, initially I came to pentax because of the value associated with it prior to all the lens price hikes. Then I became scared of the sdm issues I read about so I bought mainly older manual lenses. Anyway, thanks for everyones responses.
