DA*300 Refurb No-brainer? · 02:31 PM

Ricoh has it for $499.95, Seems like a no-brainer. Maybe someone will beat me to it?

This mean they're coming out with a new one?

I got one of these a few months ago. Works fine. Great deal on a very good lens.

Yikes, great price, buy it.

SSGGeezer · 09-02-2020, 04:27 PM

What they said! A great deal and as a Ricoh refurb it will have a warrantee for at least three months. A great lens if you don't have a 300 f/4 already.

Absolutely if you have need of a great tele. It really is a no-brainer.

Great lens, great price. They're also listing the 55-300 PLM for $329....

Well, I blew it on the DA*300, and hope you all tell me "I told you to buy it. . . "

Some folks got a great deal, that's good.

Told ya so.

Well, you were told. Earlier this year I got one when it showed up on the Ricoh site. Not even looking for one, but the price was just too good to pass up. Just keep watching as they do show up from time to time.

They do have a refurbished K1-II for $1,299.

That's a decently good price too considering it will be under warranty.

Can't find the URL, is that deal expired ?

That DA*300 lens is gone (likely just had the 1 in stock seeing as it was a refurb listing).

The available refurb items at the Ricoh store can be seen here: Open Box/Refurbished Archives - Ricoh
