The packaging also sucks. It stands out quite strongly since the original 'old style' boxes are beautiful. This one has the wrong colours and again narrower fonts.

U could be right but if u go to park cameras or wex photo or Clifton cameras there pentax K 3 batteries they have are made by Hoya in china with cell made in Japan ?

There's a space before and after the comma on the genuine batteries, not on the fakes.

You are so observant I hadn’t noticed the spaces before and after the Comma. Its funny the non genuine has the spaces correctly positioned and the genuine Pentax hasn’t. Maybe Pentax did that deliberately to catch the forgers out.

Thanks for all the advice, I am totally convinced these are not genuine and certainly not good value. Must keep saving up for the genuine article.

I think they may be genuine old stock and I am tempted but I dont think its worth the risk. Even if they are genuine their age is worrying. However all the major UK retailers are showing the old style Hoya logo on the battery online so its very confusing.

The feedback seems to suggest that they are genuine pentax batteries 🙂

Some feedback does look convincing but why are they so cheap?

I've seen brand new Pentax D-L190 batteries advertised on eBay. They are priced at £17.03 plus £3.43 carriage. The description says they are genuine Pentax Batteries however the price seems to good to be true. Has anyone any information about the seller or these batteries. Remember the saying "If it seems to good to be true then it most probably is"

Hi All
When people like Flickr photos you can be see who has liked what photos. It appears to me to be self perpetuating as I tend to look at other peoples the photos if they have liked mine. Maybe there could be an optional tick box so others cant see what you like, but I really don’t mind at all.

Love the photo, it looks as if this is a Pentax prototype, they must be working on launching a large format video camera. Environmental friendly materials as well.

Love them all especially the second one. A great set.

Love the natural colours and the gull is the finishing touch. It looks to be a perfect lens to take walk about. 200mm just in case and 18mm is perfect for landscapes such as this. My walk about lens is the Pentax 15-135 quite light and compact but not always quite enough zoom.
