Yes and nearly at as new prices, this indicates to me that there is still likely a market for the new items. > As for the FA* 200mm macro, a couple have been for sale in the past six > months, and had I so wished (translation: had I had the cash) I would have > bought one. Yep, I saw them on eBay too, however I believe that such lenses should really still be available new at least until there is an announcement of a pending replacement. This is the very real lack of continuity that others here have been discussing, it's a really poor policy and I'm sure I'm not deluding myself to assume that it's turned off many potential Pentax buyers.
