I've just had a look at the Ricoh site and the lens list seems complete, including the ones you couldn't find:

That is great to hear! How very odd though, It appears to be an official Pentax (Ricoh) site but the only prime telephoto lenses listed were the 200 and the 560 -linkI've just had a look at the Ricoh site and the lens list seems complete, including the ones you couldn't find:

Many thanks!

I have no idea, but webmasters do sometimes leave things out. Why not point it out to them so it can be corrected?

The link refers to a direct sales department surely? Maybe they aren't showing items they may not have in stock?

Something doesn't look right about that site. I don't believe it is an official site, just a spoof made to look like it.
Note the url is: http://shop-uk.ricoh-imaging.eu so it is 'shop-uk' whoever they are. There's no contact address etc. so be careful if considering using it.

I have to say it does seem to get linked to from the official site so ought to be OK then. Their web design team just need to up their game!

xxx.ricoh-imaging.eu is what is known as a "subdomain" -- it cannot be a "spoof" site since the domain is owned by Ricoh Imaging: i.e. http://www.ricoh-imaging.eu.Something doesn't look right about that site. I don't believe it is an official site, just a spoof made to look like it.

I think the prices could be a spoof - Check out the price of the DA*200 at £1,019.99 or the DA 560mm F5.6 ED AW £6,999.99. At first I thought it was in Euros

I was taken aback by the prices too, But maybe they are the manufacturers recommended prices? Who knows!

The prices at SRS are more relevant as that's where we are more likely to buy from.
Manufacturers' web shops are usually more expensive. I'm not sure why, but it's always been that way, perhaps to protect their retail suppliers?
