Pentax HD PENTAX D FA* 70-200mm f/2.8 ED DC AW Lens 21330 B&H

Drool. This is the lowest I have seen.
So either the sales number for the year are not met or there is a D-FA*70-200ii with ring motor in the pipe.

Enjoy your Christmas gift. Its a superb lens.
It seems they are shipping it overnight too. So it is indeed getting into your hands well before Christmas.

Thank you, I'm hoping they lower the price on the D FA15-30

Congrats. It's a really nice lens even if it is a bit on the big side. Hope to see a few images of your grandkids. It's a great portrait lens.

I like it very much

it can be used up close as well

I usually hand hold and it works fairly well for me that way

if you can find a place to rent one, it might be worth the $

you could then test it out yourself and decide if you want to be looking for an " offer you cannot refuse " .

pm me if you want further details

I gave myself a similar gift - B&H has the D FA 24-70 for $996 - lowest I think it has ever been too!

Pentax HD Pentax-D FA 24-70mm f/2.8ED SDM WR Lens 21310 B&H

Love my 150-450 - highly recommend it also.

the last time they did that to me, I made a few phone calls to ups and convinced them to allow me to pick up the item, which had been sitting in my town since the previous Friday [the 11th], at the UPS facility instead of waiting for delivery to my house,

item was first promised on Monday [ the 14th ] but then I was told it would be delayed for an additional 24 hours.

key was the fact that it was already at the facility in my town

if it still in transit to your town, no help

kjphilippona · 12-19-2017, 08:09 AM

Its sitting about 4 hours away

My son sent me a Christmas package USPS 3day that was scheduled to be delivered Monday, i received it Friday

kjphilippona · 12-20-2017, 03:30 PM

Just as i expected, first they delay my delivery, now today they try to deliver it at a stupid time when no one is home. I live in an apartment complex and there is always someone in the office but B&H shipped it so that i have to sign for the package?????
