At the Phones 4 U Arena tonight for the reformed Wet Wet Wet.

They where good, but the video backdrop was a little dull unfortunately.

"Not shooting so many gigs nowadays due to other commitments"

Can I ask, are these commitments photographic related?

In the final year now of my business management degree, which is taking up a lot of my time.

The main problem with not declaring things (apart from the legal aspects of it all)is they become a grey import, and your guarantee is nullified.

Sigma check serial numbers and know in which country a lens was sold. No proof of legally importing the lens means no after care from Sigma.
I wouldn't be surprised if Pentax don't have a similar rule.

That said my first Pentax SLR was purchased in the US whilst on holiday there. I used it on the holiday, and got a world-wide guarantee certificate from Golden, but that was nearly 12 years ago.

If you purchase an camera in store and pay local duty then the camera will come with a global warranty. if you purchase a camera without local duties then you are not likely to be covered as that is a grey import.

Well the Pentax menu system has hardly changed in years, suggesting the reviewer has never used a Pentax before which is disappointing in itself.

i don't really care for photo magazines to be honest except for BJP.

I think we are missing the point. Price is determined by demand, if everyone on this forum holds off long enough it may drop faster than we think.......not that we want to put RICOH out of business of course.

Demand is part of the equation but you are also dealing with product life cycle and also currency fluctuations. Most pentax dslr have been priced similart o the k-5 chart above. With new models being released on a 12 monthly cycle i wouldnt expect a price cut until April. Nearly every model released in recent years has had good intro offers and then nothing...

I'm getting hassled from a wedding fayre for me to book a stand. I asked how many photographers exhibiting and he said 14 so far!

i get brides messaging every week and all they want to,know is the price

thankfully my business degree has taught me not to compete on price and find other niches
