K50 + 18-135mm WR - 449 euros at amazon FR (about 325 quid)

Once again the UK consumer seems to be getting a raw deal. Even when Amazon had it on deep discount a couple of weeks ago it was much dearer than the French price.

I don’t think you are bad off in the UK. In the Netherlands you would never see this kind of discount, we have the Pentax cashbacks but never these kind of big retailer deals. Even the kind of deal SRS regularly have are unknown here.
Besides: there is nothing to stop you from purchasing from amazon.fr.
I’d like to add that the UK has reliable retailers like SRS and WEX that often have nice deals, do part exchanges and can give reliable service. You also have Microglobe that often has unbeatable prices on Pentax lenses (taking maybe poorer warranty conditions into account).
Also the weak euro of the last year has made buying in Europe a much nicer proposition for brits.

Effectively its a buy the K50 and get the 18-135 free or the other way round. What i'm saying is that it would be nice for UK consumers to be able to get deals like this. This particular example is not affected by currency / exchange rate considerations...although I accept that as a general rule this past year has favoured UK consumers prepared to buy from other EU countries.
That said I bought my KS-2 on Amazon France when it released (shipped to Germany for 6 euros), it was cheaper than anywhere else at the time - one just has to keep their eyes open... I think the deal on the KS-2 last week was much better than this one, the K50 is a good camera, but it's a 2 year old model if not older... but yes it's a good deal
