hi all,

when i was with sony, i used to use camerapricebuster.co.uk to make sure i got the best uk deal when hunting around.

they've just started their pentax listings. still a work in progress as they add more sites to scan for the pentax lenses, but when it's up and running, i'll certainly be keeping an eye on it as a useful overview of the prices of everything and whether there are any bargains about.

just a brief disclaimer: i have no affiliation with the website—i just find it a good resource.

Hmm, they don't seem to have noticed that SRS can beat their price for a K-r kit by £25!

They have been listing Pentax bodies for a while but the K-r, K-5 and lenses are new additions. I think whatever they use to check the prices has to catch up.

Its advertising roulette. Different dealers get to be cheapest from time to time. A phone call to SRS, Mifsud's or RGB will always get the lowest price in most cases.

Just like B&H, they can't always print certain prices yet we don't have an "add to basket" to see lower price policy in the UK.

A good reference site when comparing overseas prices.

yeah, they haven't got the best prices up there yet because they are still adding retailers to their lists. if you look at the kx and k7 listings, they are more comprehensive. the other listings will probably be reliable in about a month.

agreed. but sometimes a bargain comes along. i remember that i found out that jessops was selling some sony-zeiss glass at essentially half price, and you had to move quickly to get it because it was only up for one day, and this website helped me grab the deal.
