Because I am still stuck in the office when I should be out with my camera, I have thought of a fun new game!

It's called 'Who is the biggest rip-off merchant when it comes to Pentax gear?'

I'll start the bidding with Tesco, where you can pick up a K20D for a mere £649.99. link. (But you do get clubcard points!)

Can anyone beat that?

A leading camera shop in dublin has the K20d listed on their website @
€ 1199.99 (includes kit lens 18-55), think this may top the list?.

An out of production film body with a 50mm lens for US $5,500.00?

An out of production lens for US $6,789.00?

Although to be fair, if I won the lottery I'd probably buy both...

And check out the bargain K10/20D grips!

Wondering if I should sell the Cessna to get them. What do you guys think?
