Note that Pentax USA has been offering a rebate on this lens for most of
the last year. It goes for a little over $200 (US) at the major online
retailers, and the rebate brings this down to closer to $150 (again, US
dollars). I don't know what's involved in taking advantage of this
outside the US, but it could possibly be worthwhile to look into.

Without the rebate you'd be looking at $285 Can landed, which includes
$20 for shipping.
At least $100 less than you pay in Canada after taxes.

Sadly, the rebates only apply within the USA... :(

Surely even a Canadian must have a friend somewhere in the USA who
could receive the rebate on his behalf?
