Price drop for Kx Body/Kit/200mm/300mm lens kit :)

[Moonlightsg]

was quote 300+ for additional 55-300 lens if u buy the single kit lens set

which work out to be 1100 + (same as a dual kit lens set). But additional lens doesn't come with box

Wah very good price... i don't mind without box... 300+ is near to 320+ or 399 that side?
i want to know the price also... i don't mind black color one but got color then better!:bsmilie:

Would like to check with experienced Pentax users on this point -- how useful do you find the Quick Shift feature and what situations do you commonly find yourself using it?

I'm asking because comparing the price of the DAL 2nd kit lens and its DA equivalent, the price difference for this feature is quite significant (I know, there is also hood, metal mount, and distance marking, but to me the Quick Shift feature looks like the most significant difference).

DAL 50-200 $117
DA 50-200 $348
(Difference of $231)

DAL 55-300 $321
DA 55-300 $568
(Difference of $247)

So is the Quick Shift worth the difference?

 

[darrrrrrrrrr]

DONE deal. Bought the dual lens kit.. 899!!!!
SO eager to try now. but have to pat my kid to sleep first,. then can unbox..

Will be fun!!!

Welcome and congrats

Other than the quick shift, the DA 50-200 comes with metal hood too. I only pay a difference of $20

 

[banana0ne]

metal hood, I think metal mount and hood. maybe mixed up...

haha! I also not too sure. Just feel that $20 difference is worth it.

Just an update. The last piece of DA 50-200 lens was just taken up by a CS member.

Sold your 50D already? Or you got this K-x for your GF first then get yourself a K-7 when the 50D sells?

Nope, 50D not sold yet. I bought KX white for my gf.

Wait till got people buy my 50D first. Hard to sell, think my price not attractive enough. But I buy very expensive leh.
