Both are appreciating in value. And both are getting scarce.
Pentax just came out with a new 100mm Macro lens that’s Full-Frame ready.
Which is leading many to speculate that a Full Frame Pentax DSLR is on the way very soon.
The last time the K-7 was announced, these lenses sky-rocketed. If an FF Pentax finally comes out, I’m sure there’ll be another hike.
So I figured, I could justify getting one for my birthday+Christmas…
And the Maple, that’s something I had the good fortune to dig up using my half-day unrecorded leave. They’re getting very scarce. But every time the gold price pulls up a little, there’s always the chance that someone will want to cash in the profit and sell them back to the bank. And that’s the only time the banks will have any stock at all.
