Wow, wild ride on that price.

Kind of like the stock market, just moving in the opposite direction :o

Oh, well, just trying to help people spend their extra bucks.

The action shot is fantastic - the play at home really grabs me.

If you were able to make it perfect, a shallower depth of field, to keep the viewer from noticing the spectators' legs so much.

The first pic confuses me. The further objects, that might be blurred if out of focus, just seem to have high-ISO noise. But the close objects are not noisy.

How does this happen?

Thank you, user Cambridge.

I just figure that if the street price for a new copy is this low, it will affect the used market as well. Pretty quickly.

I can't wait for my new (used) lens!

It was a transaction here. The asking price was lowered to $260 plus actual shipping.

I just purchased a used copy of this lens through the marketplace here. Now I just have to wait for the truck to pull up to the house!

So I was surfing the web tonight, and it looks like Amazon.com has this lens on sale for about half price - $300.47 shipped. Probably no sales tax where I live. What a smokin' deal.

It makes my used purchase look less good :o

Here it is: Amazon.com: Pentax 16-45mm f/4.0 SMC PDA ED AL Zoom Lens for Pentax and Samsung Digital SLR Cameras: Camera & Photo

I agree with the lack of detail on the left side. But to crop it out would lose the interesting light in the foreground.

If you plan to manual focus, you might consider one of the split-prism focusing screens.
