Back from London, ended up visiting SRS in both rayner's lane and watford
Bought a da* 16-50mm, 40mm pancake and a k-m as a second house.. Great service and friendly people.

Thanks all

Thanks again all, very much appreciated
Quite a few possibilities here..
Yeah, I know about most of the issues that people have had with the 16-50, but I really want the extra stops, also weather-sealed is a big bonus for hiking. I also dislike the rather harsh bokeh that the 16-45 can produce in extreme conditions. Maybe the 17-70 could be an alternative though, I haven't tried that one..

Thanks all, sounds like SRS is the place to go for Pentax in the UK
Prices are very good, I might end up picking up a DA* 300 for a friend as well..

Thank you very much

That was cheaper than expected actually, £475.00 for a 16-50.. they cost ~853 here in Norway.. The difference will probably even cover the travel

Hello, I'm considering taking a trip to the UK in the near future - probably to London. Photo-equipment is rather expensive here in Norway, so I want to take the opportunity to buy some gear I'm after, specifically the DA* 16-50/2.8.

Can anyone recommend me a good shop to buy pentax equipment at in London (maybe they even have a website with prices?)?
What is the going prices on the 16-50 nowadays? (I've checked amazon, but suspect that stores are a bit higher)

Thank you
(Sorry if this is the wrong forum)
