Pentax Pentax 15mm F4 - $539 **PF EXCLUSIVE DEAL**
Posted By: Adam, 11-28-2012, 03:50 PM

While I wasn't able to get any special discounts on FA lenses, Adorama is now offering the 15mm F4 for just $539 (Black Friday pricing) as a "thank you" to PF members for shopping there last week.
Consider this a special deal for PF members

Pentax SMCP-DA 15mm F/4 ED AL Lens for DSLR, USA 21800

The lower price will be shown in-cart only. Special price: $539.95 regular price $646.95 (save $110!)

Interestingly some lenses are still coming up with a discount when placed in the cart with no other indication.
It's like a lucky dip placing various lenses into the cart.

DA15 goes from 646.95 down to 539.95

notably the DA*200 goes from 1196.95 down to 969.00

versatile 18-135 goes from 526.95 down a little to 499


the DA* zooms suddenly lost their price appeal "your final price is ... "

Adorama must have realized how nice it was to finally sell some Pentax lenses for a change

Like I said, they seem to be smarter than Pentax and realize that 3% profit on 200 sales is far better than 200% profit on 0 sales. MAP is an abomination and has been from day 1.

As steve1307 mentioned, there are some other hidden, cart-only prices available on Adorama...

Pentax SMCP-DA 70mm f/2.4 ED Limited
List price $699; add to cart price drops to $549
Pentax SMCP-DA 70mm f/2.4 ED Lens Limited Edition -Black #21620 21620

Pentax SMCP-DA 21mm f/3.2 AL
List price $649; add to cart price drops to $539
Pentax SMCP-DA 21mm f3.2 AL Wide Angle AF Lens Black #21590 Limited Edition 21590

These are great deals. Thanks Adam for posting the PF exclusive deal on the 15mm f/4 Limited... that's what led me to start poking around on Adorama this evening. In fact, I almost pulled the trigger on the DA 35 f/2.8 Macro Limited (which I posted earlier; Adorama list $699, cart price $529), but common sense --thankfully-- overruled my desires for yet another Pentax-fever induced spending spree... I already snagged a Pentax K-5 II (for $1029) and a DA 50-135mm f/2.8 (for $674, booyah!) on B&H late Monday night (so late, that it was technically Cyber Tuesday, ha). As much as I'd love to pick up a prime Limited, alas, the madness must end.

K-5 II and 50-135 should be here tomorrow. I can't wait!

This a really nice deal.

It's my favorite lens, and I'm pretty sure I paid a bit more for mine, back during the pre-MAP days!

Perhaps I'm crazy but I'm pretty sure Adorama has been doing this for a while. Its just that many of the lenses (but not all) are usually out of stock. I actually posted a deal at Office Max for this lens a few weeks ago that was $2 cheaper, came with a free (but ugly) bag, and free 2nd day shipping but it got little attention.

I got mine through this deal. I actually wouldn't have been able to get one if I hadn't come upon this thread.
