Tend to find in a recession luxury goods increase in price as demand falls.

SRS Lens prices shot back up!
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 ...

"Rip Off Britain"? Since I moved to Spain I have ceased believing in RIP-off Britain. Prices for electronic and photographic goods on the continent are much higher than they are in the UK, harder to find (especially Pentax) and with worse customer support. I suppose if you compare prices to the ...

SRS Lens prices shot back up!
In Hungary anything even remotely 'luxury' really is much more expensive in real terms. My albeit small experience is that even basic stuff like a kettle can get pricey for something that would be equivalent to Argos own brand. No such thing as discount stores like Primark etc over there. You act...

I couldn't agree more Jules, if Sigma made their 70mm f2.8 Macro and the new 17-70 f2.8-4 C with weather sealing, I'd be a very happy bunny indeed.

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 think all of the story with Pentax lens price hike is nothing to do with "Rip Off Britain". Ricoh knows they are not in a position to compete with the Canikon big guys in the game. The only way to turn their purchase in profitable business is to develop Pentax as kind of quality, luxurious and (as...

Quantative easing must play its part in recent price hikes?

Quality wise is the Pentax 17-70mm lens £180 better than the Sigma 17-70mm ? Highly unlikely. My Siggy 17-70 MK1 after AF calibrated still amazes me how good it is for it's cost. It's not as good as my DA*50-135 but equals and betters the DA lenses I have

Just been looking on the SRS site and it looks like Canon are also increasing prices, their 70-200mm IS USM lens is now an eye watering £1959. SRS don't seem to stock many lenses either particularly when compared to range Comparing similar lenses with Pentax DA* 16-50mm £899 Nikon 17-55 2....

Pentax 16-50mm F2,8 DA* SDM
Unless you need the WR (in Portugal?) or SDM autofocus I'm not sure I'd make the change fom your Tamron, at least not on image quality grounds. The 17-50 is an outstanding bargain and performs well beyond its price point. It does have a reputation for front/back focus issues which many Pentax bodi...

Pentax 16-50mm F2,8 DA* SDM
Whilst the iq on the tamron exceeds its price that's its only advantage. The build quality, focus speed and image quality are all better on the Pentax. The only disadvantage if the Pentax is the weight and the length when fully zoomed. i live mine and the images on my Pentax are far superior t...

Pentax 16-50mm F2,8 DA* SDM
This lens seems to be akin to Marmite! I hired one from SRS, tried it for a few days, sent it back and then placed an order. It's been in the roughest of terrains and pretty extreme climatic conditions. It is my default/walkabout lens. Never had an issue (apart from it sometimes refusing to focus...

HD Pentax 55-300 WR - couple of test shots
The dogs impressive. Birdfeeders are hard to focus on. It looks to be focused on the green perch. Try to get f/8 or f/9 with this lens.... it should be really sharp. --

HD Pentax 55-300 WR - couple of test shots
Hi Nice shots. How do you find the focus speed. I have the DA Version and have been happy with the results, BUT, it does hunt for focus at times, especially at air shows. John
