Pentax Lens deals at Microglobe
My only experience of dealing with them is buying a Pentax OEM lens hood for the 18-55 a couple of weeks ago...great saving against RRP and arrived quickly, well packaged...not much to go on but couldn't fault the service or price.
bought from them before, 0 problems... just read everything
the 20-40 for instance is an import

some are imports some aren't... they are clearly marked though

where does it say import. I can only see a Uk sourced description?
Dave
If it doesn't say that, then it means non-import.
(just my take on it)

Too bad my next bonus is in February.

I guess these are the sort of prices we'll get from Pro dealers when the next big lens sale comes along. 2 years surely matters for some SDM lenses but not otherwise.

Microglobe have always given their own 1 year warranty. I had a Sigma 50mm macro from them that was boxed as Sigma Germany source BUT the UK lot refused its serial number when i tried for the extended for the 3 year warranty. So much for us all being Europeans together eh? I've found Microglobe excellent excellent. It is a long running proper shop London based friends tell me.

The European law is a minimum 2 years warranty unless the customer accepts one year only

Interesting read, but I couldn't see the reference to "..unless the customer accepts one year only" - apart from in the section that refers to Second Hand items in which it says a guarantee of less than two years can be agreed as long as it is no shorter than one year! This is quite interesting when you consider that most Camera Shops advertise 3 or 6 month guarantees on Used Equipment.

I'm not sure if you have to sign something like when buying a car or it's enough to advertize on the shop or online the amendment
They have a physical shop in central London.
Imports are clearly stated as such IMO.
