Part of it could be down to currency exchange rates, part of it could be down to Ricoh putting up the trade prices substantially. We'll never know the ultimate reason for the hike.
From a personal standpoint, I was considering trading my DA35 Macro in for the 100 WR Macro, but might end up looking at the Tamron 90mm Macro as an alternative. I'd rather have the Pentax, but the cost might count against it.
I would, especially as all the Macros are pretty good quality. Perhaps things were better in that sense when Pentax were less successfull and there seemed to be more bargain basement sales. What are the chances of me getting a DA 55-300 for £135 from Amazon, A 100 DFA WR Macro from Jessops for £299 or an AF-360FGZ flash from Curry's for £99 again?
Those days may have gone.

I wonder if you could half the interval for a smoother video for perfection?
I really wish I'd thought of timelapse at the time but I wasn't into it and I found at -9C I wasn't thinking that clearly!

The points mentioned in this thread have convinced me to go for a K3 but I'm going to hold off a couple of months until the price falls and any bugs have been ironed out.
Will it though if it sells well? Maybe it will fall by £100 when the PX offer goes? I wonder if anyone has done a profile of Pentax DSLR prices with time. My impression was that there is that first drop but then prices more or less stabilise.

Sadly the K-01, Q and MX-1 don't have viewfinders, but when it comes to DSLR's though, nothing could give me more pleasure than to be shooting with a (Ricoh) Pentax, wonderful cameras.
As it is their future is assured, thanks to Ricoh.
I always found it odd that so few cameras kept a simple viewfinder. it seems to be the most wanted feature by everyone over 50, the ones with the disposable incomes!
