I know what you're saying John, but stock levels of canikony stuff don't seem to be suffering the tsunami effect.

We must remember that a lot of 'Japanese' optics and bodies are actually made in places like the Philippines and South Korea.

What you see on the shelves in most shops is what they have, the days of stock rooms for camera shops are long gone from what I've been told.

SRS aside, it seems the distribution of Pentax gear is scant in the least.

So far it seems that getting Pentax kit 'from stock' isn't easy.

Indeed when SRS are struggling to supply items, it's no wonder a lot of people think Pentax no longer exist.

Hopefully when Ricoh take control of the Pentax brand we may see an increase in availability.

Reminds me of another pointless rambling thread else where.

When this one gets to 500+ then worry!

By the way I have a Canon, it's a cracking little scanner and only cost £30.

Following a question from Barrie, I started wonderinghow much Pentax stock is held in local Pro dealers shops.

I have 2 Pro dealers local to me and niether has a massive stock. They can get things quick enough and give excellent service, but trying a lens out can be a little awkward.

Thoughts and comments please.

I keep looking for a FED2, It would be fun to change the badges and have a Lieca!

Just edited this for spelling, I think my keyboard is a little off centre today!

Do Bass and Bligh hold much Pentax? I could not find any on the website. Sorry if there seams to be a point here. I'll stop now
They hold as much as anywhere else in Yorkshire, and they are a Pro dealer.

Their website is a bit sparce, but they've only recently got it running properly.

Change of direction...

...I'm outside in sunshine cutting branches for the stove!!!

Did you get your new toy from Bass and Bligh, or someone else?
Bass and Bligh of course!

The only other camera shop is Jessops and they carry no pentax kit at all!

I've just been surfing the net and came across THIS site, that should help me get my head around how to use the new lens.

Museums should be living places, like Beamish or Blist Hill. The PC people just don't understand...

Well, last nights curry went well with the beer.

Looks like it's a trip into Harrogate to do some shopping.

Think I'll take the K110 and Da 40, just in case!
