There's nothing wrong with success, and nothing wrong with building success through successful partnerships.

IMHO we're far too shy about being successful in the UK.
Couldn't agree more

I can see no point at all in promoting just one mail order dealer. If Pentax are in any way connected with this they will have serious problems with their other dealers and even outlets refusing to stock their stuff. Pentax may as well sell direct and forget about selling through shops, but mail order is not the way to promote photographic gear.

What's needed is more Pro dealers no more than 25 miles from everyone in the country.

Generally I agree with you here too Shim BUT I would say that it's Chris and his colleagues that are the people that have built SRS to it's current standing not Pentax.
They (SRS) have been the company who have been proactive and forward thinking where others have been perhaps more passive.

So SRS are a success of their own making and you can see other manufacturers are now clambering for some of the action (notably Olympus). All IMHO of course

Magnus, I find my DA* 16-50 zoom excellent for landscapes, very sharp once it's stopped down a bit.
Maybe have a look at one if and when funds allow

Spoke to SRS yesterday, and they suggested around 2 weeks. Has anyone any more news than this?
Was that for pre-orders (which may all be allocated) or general stock?

I would recommend the Arctic Butterfly but would be very careful. The likelihood is that the dust spec(s) are on the underside of your focus screen.
As everyone as pointed out however if they are minor I would leave them as they don't affect your images.
