My advice is order it from the states. There is no import duty on slr lenses (but you'll pay provincial tax). Just be sure to use USPS, not FEDEX or UPS as they charge obscene 'customs brokerage fees'. I bought my k-7 from the states, and Pentax Canada told me if there is a warranty claim, I'd need to pay 25.00 processing since it was bought out of country. I imagine a similar warranty fee might exist for the lens, but you should ask them directly. In the end I saved about 500.00 CAD on the body and have had no warranty issues thus far, so it was well worth it, although Pentax Canada prices are more in line with the states right now, so the savings might be less dramatic.
