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!

1st is easy, the rest less so:

1. Sigma 105 Macro
2. Pentax DA12-24
3. Pentax DA40
4. Pentax DA*60-250mm
5. CZ Distagon 28mm f2.8

Any four of these travel with me everywhere, with the Sigma being used for lunchtime wandering in the woods, so gets used the most.

Just browsing the 'other' forum where they have noticed the Lightroom 3 sale prices of $120 or $179 on amazon.com. Incredible value!

So... what is to stop anyone buying it from/in the US and using on a UK computer? Maybe small print will say something about only using this in the USA (but I have a laptop which travels!).

I guess I am a little miffed that we don't get to see such special sale prices from Adobe in the UK. Also it is probably about time for Lightroom4 to be arriving perhaps this is and end of product sale.

But then again I tried to buy the 35 Macro at SRS last weekend but Chris was out of stock; he seemed to think the price would be going up whenever the next delivery turned up.

About time I chipped in and sang the praises of Jessops (yes really I do mean Jessops).
They ordered me a new K5 and let me keep my faulty one until it arrived in store two days later, rang me as soon as it arrived and then exchanged it for the new one which, having checked it, is still faultless 4 months down the line. Mine is a Nov 2010 product, so just on the borderline.

Well they do, but only at Ultra 15mb/s it seems from a quick google.
