Already to 'Used-Good' condition? Hmm.

Down to $1,092.

Down to $1,042.

The condition guidance on lenses seems to be very arbitrary - the 11-18mm I'd purchased last week was 'Used - Good' though like new when received in all ways other than it was reboxed.

Maybe they'll keep lowering the price the longer it stays posted...

That seems to be their MO.

I pulled the trigger once it dropped to $1006. Received it 2 days ago; it arrived fairly loose in the amazon box; though the lens itself was well wrapped in bubble wrap, and the lens was located inside its official Pentax lens pouch, and further wrapped in plastic inside. It did not come with the Pentax box though, only the warranty card. The lens seems to perform well on my K3iii (even though I haven't updated the firmware), but I haven't had time to perform extensive testing yet. As far as I can tell, it looks brand new other than the missing box. We'll see...

Sounds like the 11-18 snagged a couple of weeks back. Glad that it turned out well!
