Just been having a look at their Pentax kit - no DLSR's and everything else priced "to clear". Looks as though they may be ceasing as a Pentax supplier.

To clear ? ? ?

Pentax D-LI90 Li-ion Battery for K7D - To Clear - £63.00 - I don't think so.

Can't say I am sorry in a way.

Customer service is average at best.

Their listing for the DFA 100 Macro has a picture of the FA version. Doesn't exactly fill one with confidence!

They also have a D-FA 50mm 1:1.4 lens listed ? ? ? ?

Oh they are, or were a reasonable shop to visit, I bought my DA21 there a few years ago. Lovely cabinets full of used cameras and lenses.
My only gripe with the store is the automated system they use to price used items. At the time when the Pentax prices shot up a while ago, so did their used prices. I noticed they had a used 16-50mm for, I think it was £399, on the Saturday and when I arrived on the following Monday it had gone up in price to £499 so I passed on it. A week later the price tag on that same used lens went up again!

They sell lenses? I always read it as milfsuds. I do need new specs though.
Lurking is shirking.!

I've used them from time to time - never had any complaints, it's a nice little shop...

Seems that stock on all brands is on the low side, probably trying to increase turnover....

Bought the Sigma 10-20 from their ebay shop. Paid Saturday, arrived Tuesday. So happy so far, with my only transaction.
