Could be. You should post in the Ask B&H forum to double-check.

Isn't the FA77 only $790 at times on Bnh? Can we expect this kind of deal on BF week? Thanks.

I seem to recall seeing it at $796, but I wouldn't swear to it...

Last year, the 77mm was $826 and the 31mm was $966. Here's the price list:

This year's deals will likely differ based on supply/demand, as usual.

Thanks for your reply.

Oh my.... purchase now or wait till Black Friday? This is in deed an interesting twist of fate.

Ricoh must be trying to clear inventory for new HD versions. This is the second big sale in a couple of months and it isn't even Black Friday yet. A friend of mine bought the 77mm on sale a couple of months ago and the box still had Hoya on it, so they have been sitting on inventory for 3+ years.

Isn't the DA20-40 also has the new HD coating? Don't think that there is an old SMC version of this lens unless of course, I could be wrong.

$697 for DA 20-40 limited?? Damn, now that's a price that is making me seriously think about it.

I grabbed an open-box copy elsewhere for $679 last week and thought I had stolen it

glad the price has slipped for others! My copy seems quite acceptable but a few tests remain.

freerider · 10-30-2014, 09:40 PM

The HD 15mm is calling my name! I don't know if I can resist this one.

**Nakedgun** · 10-30-2014, 11:39 PM

Uh, oh. I was going to spread out the acquisition the FA43, DA* 60-250, and Sigma 17-50 over an indefinite time period.

But, with this...?

davidlindberg37 · 10-31-2014, 12:08 AM

I hope the give this rebate in NL. Because after import taxes here in the Netherlands, 15mm from B and H, I'd only save about $100--certainly a good deal, but still over my budget.
I'd like to find a used version around 250-300 euro's.

I see that Adorama is offering a free three year New Leaf drop and spills warranty. Wonder if the Pentax extended warranty will be offered like last year. Also, both Adorama and B&H are offering free expedited shipping. B&H lists the sale period till November 3rd. Adorma doesn't give an end date.... AND for those with deeper pockets, Adorama has the DA 560mm listed for $5,996.95!

**frogoutofwater** · 10-31-2014, 08:31 AM

I wasn't really in the market for another lens. (I already have the 18-135, WR 55-300, the 77mm f/1.8, the 50mm f/1.8, the 15mm f/4, the Sigma 17-70 and 150-500, plus the Tamron 90mm macro.) Weight is a major concern for me (bad back, messed up hands) so much as I'd love to use a lens like the 50-135 or 200mm f/2.8 regularly, I'm not sure it's practicable for me.

On the other hand, I'm starting to appreciate my primes more, so I decided to splurge on the 35mm f/2.8 macro. (I tell myself that the macro capabilities justify the expense.)

Pulled the trigger.

Looks like you've completed the trinity!

It also looks like they've extended the sales to November 3rd. More time to ~~brood~~ deliberate!
