Tamron SP300 f2.8 or DA*300 f4
Sold my Tammy 300mm/2.8 when I got my DA*300. The DA* is sharp from f/4, the Tamron really needed to be stopped down to f/5.6 to get the best from it, and it was too big and heavy, and manual focus. And that purple fringing... You've made the right choice, even if you don't realise it yet. ;-) ...

To be fair Jules, whilst some have increased in price, some have reduced. It's never a stable situation and prices move up and down all the time.

Shot back up or just plain even higher? A 21mm Ltd is GBP288.75 here and thats top price and I see it at GBP509 there. Obviously market forces at play and of course an extra years warranty. Best regards

The DA12-24mm is now £910, that's more expensive than the DA* 200mm and almost as expensive as the DA*300mm. :?

To be fair Jules, whilst some have increased in price, some have reduced. It's never a stable situation and prices move up and down all the time. Well the only decreases I see are the old green ring DA's that they are trying to shift out before they get the new red ring ones (HD). The SDM's have...

Price reductions, compared to say a year or so ago, include the 18-270mm, 10-17mm, 50mm f/1.4, 50mm f/1.8, 18-135mm, just off the top of my head.

I was talking with SRS yesterday and was told it is Pentax who have put up their prices, so undoubtedly this will soon filter through to other suppliers once they have used up any old stock

If I recall correctly, one of the things that happened during the 'Hoya' period, was an equalising out of prices worldwide. The big discounts available to US suppliers seemed to disappear and heavy discounting was discouraged. Certainly the differential between most of the mainstream lenses narrowed...

I'm getting increasing frustrated by increases in pentax lens prices, when I bought my first DSLR, a K100D, a few years back, pentax lenses seemed to be better than their canikon counterparts at similar prices. Also they didn't require IS so they should always be a similarly priced or cheaper. Als...

560 has come down about 10%... I gulped when I saw some of the prices but for the time being I have all the lenses I want for my Pentax....(save some FA* lenses:roll:)

Part of it could be down to currency exchange rates, part of it could be down to Ricoh putting up the trade prices substantially. We'll never know the ultimate reason for the hike. From a personal standpoint, I was considering trading my DA35 Macro in for the 100 WR Macro, but might end up looki...

I noticed today. Glad I got my DA*300 when I did, as it is over £100 more now. Looks like the FA77 is on hold, again! :(

Yes it is a real shame about the pricing here. Especially as they keep hiking the prices on old lenses! The Tokina and the Pentax are the same design and era, but the price differential is getting ludicrous: I don't suppose that a 12-28 version for Pentax is going to make the prices drop that...

I'm sorry to say that if Ricoh/Pentax carry on like this, those of us who are ordinary working men who are hobbyists will either switch to third party lenses from Sigma or Tamron (Where there's a Tamron available) or end up having to buy second hand equipment when it's available. As a former photo ...

Quality wise is the Pentax 17-70mm lens £180 better than the Sigma 17-70mm ?

Quality wise is the Pentax 17-70mm lens £180 better than the Sigma 17-70mm ? I think so ... other opinions may differ. The price of property can go down as well as up :D
