I was wondering if anyone knew of places to buy Pentax gear in San Francisco?
I did find an old thread about it on the forum, but it didn't seem to reach a conclusion about any particular shops.

For anyone searching this thread - I didnt have much luck.
There are a few small shops in China town, but it's hit or miss whether they're going to have what you want.

k5, 50mm FA, 18-55mm Kit, 50-200mm DA, 15mm Fisheye Sigma, 10-17mm DA Fisheye, 18-55mm DA WR, DA* 60-250, DA* 16-50

Samy's in LA and Santa Barbara is the only real choice in CA. There is/was a good pro store in Palo Alto, but it was pro prices too. Residents have and/or would rather use the Internet to avoid Sales Tax ('cos they think around 7 or 8.5% is high )
