Pentax KP and Limited DA lens for $1500

Don't know if anyone has posted this or not, and I am not affiliated with Massdrop, but Massdrop is offering a deal if enough people join in where you can get a KP with the dA21, DA35, or DA70 for $1500.

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/pentax-kp-bundle

They are also offering the grip for an additional $200 if you so choose.

Both black or silver bodies and lenses are available.

The descriptions and pictures look like the lenses are the new HD DA Limiteds.

If enough people buy, the estimated ship date is 5/31.

This offer/opportunity expires 5/17.

I'm thinking about it, but I doubt I'll do it.  I'm thinking of getting the dfa24-70 so funds are needed for this.  But I love the idea of a sleek, quiet and small body to go with the DA Limiteds... Anyways, hope this helps some folks out.

What kind of sales website forces you to sign-in with a social media I.D.???!

Massdrop is in fact a legit site; both I and my son have purchased a few "drops" there over the years that have been screaming deals.

Social media logins are extremely common these days.

I'm guessing they are affiliated with the social media sites so they can track your interests for better targeting of ads in future.

You don't have to sign in with a social media account -- you can create a massdrop account  if you want (just like you have to have a dpreview account to post here).  They do appear to be legit -- the #menswear sites seem to be pushing their stuff quite a bit these days.

I'm pretty sure I didn't use social media to sign up when I joined.  Are you sure you have to?

Yes it does asks for a social media sign-in

"This offer/opportunity expires 5/17."

These days, the majority of companies using that word are Multi-Level-Marketing firms and scams.

Or, the countdown clock on ads and informercials for questionable products sold on late-night TV.
