I thought the DA20-40 might be an interesting (although expensive) lightweight alternative to lens-swapping. Not much heavier than an 18-55, about the same as a 50-200.
Orient Photo say they don't have it in stock and don't know when it will be in stock.
SLR Revolution say they don't have in stock and have never ever ordered it.
APD the distributor say they don't have any stock and won't stock it except in response to dealer orders - what is going on here? A chicken-and-egg/vicious cycle/self-fulfilling prophesy situation.
They all sounded on the phone as if I had tried to order something totally unexpected, like a pet elephant.
Does the lens really exist or is it a phantom? Do Ricoh/Pentax actually want to sell anything?
Rant over. For now.
