There's another one in Czechoslovakia for over £7,000

You can get just a case for one for £100 too!
As to whether the lens is worth it, depends on how much you want one. What beats me is the £130 postage from Warrington! It's not in Australia or on the moon.
The US forum suggests around $3,000 - 4,000 is the going rate, so no, double its true value.

Yes, could be. But spend less and it maybe full of fungi! We've all paid too much on occasion for something but if it meets our needs it isn't the end of the world.

So, I bought this lens, which I am returning because I realised 90 pound were too much for it..... I really can't say it's a bad lens for the price!
I don't follow that logic?

Perhaps Ricoh will take them over and rebrand them Pentax's! As the chap said, they need sensor stabilization and auto bracketing, where else to turn to?
I wonder if the K-1 actually hit their full frame sales to add to their woes.
Kills two birds with one stone as Pentax needs improved autofocus and tracking!
Yay!

That's practically full retail where you'd get a two years warranty as well. Not sure why you would have purchased one to all intents and purposes second hand for that price.

ah ok I didn't know, so no risk to fail?
Anything can fail, even old screw drive FA* lenses!
(But I've never had any SDM lens fail.)
