I've just discovered that the retail prices for Pentax/Sigma products will increase in the near future.
Increases due to increased production costs and the weak $$$.
Australian retail prices are ridiculous now and once this increase comes into effect, they will be laughable.
In fact some increases have already started - DA 18-250 was $700 and is now listed at just over $1000.
Pentax maybe harder to find in stores, as I can't see much selling at these prices.
I wonder if all brands will be increasing prices or is it just Pentax & Sigma?
Back to buying from overseas for me.
