Pentax K7 with the WR kit lens for $1100 (just $50 more than body-only)

We interrupt our regular programming with a value-added deal alert! The Pentax K7 with the new 18-55mm DA WR (weather resistant) lens is now offered for $1100, just $50 more than the body-only. This is a good value comparatively, as the 18-55mm WR lens on its own goes for around $170-$200. You can get the K7 + 18-55mm WR for $1100 right now at Amazon.com (both Amazon itself and 3rd-party sellers) and at Adorama. In both cases, add to cart to see the latest price.

We have also added this new kit in the Pentax K-7 stock status matrix, which we just refreshed (the K7 portion only).

While not a discount in itself, this is a value-added temptation. Or if you are the trader/eBay type, you can sell the included 18-55mm WR lens, and get an effective K7 price under $1000 (depending on how much you can sell the WR lens for).
