 Originally posted by kpevav  Hi Adam, I miss the old listings of the prices from the three main vendors for each product. Lowest price is not always useful, since there are Amazon vendors that are not necessarily reliable. For instance, those that are not "fulfilled by Amazon" may have the lowest price, but do not have the same level of consumer service or protection, or warranty support, from what I understand, and are sometimes not specific as to the accessories (lens hood, e.g.). For instance, BigBox Superstore -- who has an outstanding price on one of the lenses -- has this stated policy (if you drill down far enough): "You have 7 calendar days to return an item from the date you received it. To be eligible for a full refund, your item must be unused/sealed and in the same condition/packaging that you received it. After 7 days we will refund the item cost minus a 15% restocking fee for a sealed/unused item. For any opened/used products that you wish to return there will be a 25% restocking fee." To be fair, I have never ordered from them, so their products may be fine, but I am cautious and order from those that are "fulfilled by Amazon" at least. If I have any question, I contact the vendor and/or Pentax about the warranty. Thanks for the excellent website. Very true. If it's "Fullfilled by AMAZON," then it's OK. If not, good luck. On another note, the 2016 sales have not started yet... Hope we see some good deals this year!  | |

I've just updated it: Pentax Camera & Lens Deal Finder If you hover over the current lowest price, you'll get a tooltip with prices from other stores as well. Let me know how you like it The same tooltip will also appear when you hover over today's lowest price in the price history graphs.
