I've seen them at the Marketplace on PentaxForums.com for around $40. I've also seen quite a few local places (pawn shops, private sellers) selling for around that price. The average price according to a slew of reviews at PentaxForums.com lense review section indicates that the A series 50mm f/1.7 goes for an average of $48 and the M series at $38. A better question may be 'Where are you shopping where all the 50mm f/1.7s are so terribly overpriced?'
