I'm pretty certain that the £699 price is genuine (from Microglobe?) and not a scam, but the lens Percy is selling is a "Made in Japan" version (the Microglobe one will almost certainly be an A.I.V. version) and is silver - making it very different (for some people). I think Percys price is fair too, and he does state that he's open to offers.

The local price here from the Pentax importer/distributor is GBP594 inc tax.
On top of that you have shipping and taxes to pay if you buy from the UK.
I would hazard a guess that SRS are paying more than that from Pentax UK who are at best, box shifters.
GBP725 is a fair price all things considered.
Best regards

Thank you both for your comments re: fair price.I'm pretty certain that the £699 price is genuine (from Microglobe?) and not a scam, but the lens Percy is selling is a "Made in Japan" version (the Microglobe one will almost certainly be an A.I.V. version) and is silver - making it very different (for some people).

I've had a look at Microglobe as well, and while I would have some reservations ordering it online at that price, I would view it differently if I were in the store and could try it first. Then it might be a great bargain.
But in the meantime - still open to reasonable offers

TBO, I do not understand why you posted this on someone else's sales thread if you are not even interested in the lens?
IIRC a long time ago (~ 2years) it was possible to buy it for about 700 from various sources. Then it went up to being near 1k at most shops.
