Agree with Matt the biggest bargain at the minute has to be the 35mm 2.4 stunningly sharp lens...

I don't see what the issue is with jessops we know what to expect from them. When I bought my 35mm 2.4 from them the instore price was 20 pounds more than online. So I ordered it in the store using my phone whilst stood next to the assistant. He didn't mind, I didn't mind and I saved 20 pounds and got 3.50 quidco which I wouldn't have got from buying in store...

Sounds like a full on rights grab to me, see these terms all the time in music photography & walk away.

If you are happy to give your work away & then see it exploited by a global brand for their benefit, believe me they will exploit it & re-licence it through other photo agencies, with no benefit to you, then give them it, on the other hand if you think like I do they are taking the Michael out of photographers then give them a wide birth.

Being a recent buyer of the DA 35mm 2.4 I cannot help thinking Pentax have missed a trick here. Why do they not release all the primes in both a DA & DA L version like they do the 55-300mm.

The 55mm 1.4 would be an ideal candidate, I would also buy the 35mm 2.4 in a metal mounted DA version. This should be really easy to do, they have all the parts & I guess it wouldn't be hard to change the parts on a production line.

Then they could look at doing a longer lens, like others have said an 80-400mm.

I really do not see the profitability in doing lenses 500mm or longer for Pentax...
