Hey, so I'm planning to purchase a K-5 and have it shipped to my sis-in-law who is studying in London. What would be the best price out there on a K-5 + 18-55WR? I've seen 769GBP at SRS, and around 780-790GBP over at Jessops and Currys.
With a 90GBP cashback, the prices are too good to resist!

Hello,
Mathers of Lancashire are also selling for £769 (but say out of stock,may be worth a phone call or e mail) 01204 522186,
e mail - [email protected].
Have bought both from here and SRS, both give good service, and that can be worth something as well
Hope you get the camera - enjoy it!!

Ivan at Celtic Vision, Narberth, Pembrokeshire sold me mine for £759 with 18-55wr lens + the £90 off on top of that. Also despite him not being a "pro dealer" because we know him he has agreded to honour the two year warrenty. He is a really really great independent, well respected locally. I have bought quite a lot of stuff of him over the years.

He did however at the time have to order mine in which took a about three days. Tel.01834 869123

The other really good one is Nick at Cardiff Camera Centre (Pro dealer) who was offering the same price as Ivan last week Tel 029 2039 4182. ( I actually got my DA55-300 off them as they were the only ones who had one (£269).

As stated above Mathers is another good choice, but they didnt have any in stock and weren't able to confirm when they would have some when I spoke to them.

Regards
Woody

Camera Price Buster is quite handy - though doesn't cover all the retailers so still worth a bit of searching. However, I think you'll be scraping around for £10/20 difference, and when welll respected dealers like those mentioned above are doing it at near enough the best price, then why quibble?

I almost never use 'cheapest' as my sole criteria when buying, especially when it comes to sophisticated electronic items.

For me, proven after sales service is higher on my 'hit list' than price.

You'll have to look long and hard to find better than SRS on both counts.

It's good to see the price dropping. I'm more interested to see what's in the sidelines to replace it.

Best regards

I hope anybody buying the cheapest they can find doesn't
come back on here saying that the retailer doesn't want to
know about these XYZ faults what should I do?

Buy from a Pentax Pro Dealer like SRS..... Service comes 1st
Half Man... Half Pentax ... Half Cucumber

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff
