 Originally posted by bjdavey  Not sure where best to post this - happy to repost somewhere else if advised. I've just received a D FA 150-450 bought as new from Amazon (Amazon direct) on their Black Friday deal ($2,204.57). It arrived today - the lens looks new, and seems to work fine, but I'm concerned that there was no documentation of any sort in the box. No instruction sheet, guarantee card, or lens serial number record card- all of which I'm used to finding with a new Pentax lens. This comes after I returned a K-1 that was part of the same order from Amazon, as it was back focusing and had a first shot shutter count of 491 - obviously a resale of a previously returned product. I find this disappointing from Amazon, where I've always had good experiences in the past. Now wondering whether I should keep the lens, or return it. I haven't had time to try it out properly, but I love the feel of the lens so far, and initial focusing tests are spot on. I wonder, though, what circumstances brought it to me without any of the usual enclosed documentation. Any advice would be welcome. | |

| Originally posted by Quicksand Well, Black Friday was a dud and Cyber Monday had little to offer, so I guess I'm currently holding out hope for Taco Tuesday. Del Taco's got 3 value tacos on tueasdays for $1.29. That's not a bad deal!  | |

| Originally posted by BlackTalon Just wanted to say thank you for all of the work you put in tracking the lens sales prices. Although I kept my wallet closed this past week, I definitely took advantage the previous two years. | |
