It's still a week away and shops like to keep their deals farily secret until the day so they aren't undercut.

I've seen the attached floating around the web - not a retailer I've used before but hoping it is an indication that we are expecting some great deals this Black Friday!

Not that I actually even NEED anything lol

I have no issue with buying the refurbs if the price is decent.

I think maybe Ricoh have realised they have made a rod for their own back with their 'like clockwork' sales and are looking to scale back a bit in the hope people will start buying lenses at full price.

I have long argued that if they stopped messing around with the very predictable Black Friday / Winter / Easter reductions and just priced at that level all year they would make the system as a whole far more attractive to outsiders, as one of the main critiques Pentax gets from the likes of Youtube pundits is the price of the glass particularly for full frame what you save on a body vs Canikon is more than offset by the availability or used or thrid party glass for the Canikon systems at drastically lower prices.

Let's hope Ricoh get their appetite back for Black Friday in November.... Much as I love my FA* zooms they don't work so well with polarisers or filter systems...

Brilliant definitely after a DFA Zoom - ideally 24-70 f2.8 but might consider the 28-105 if the price on the 24-70 is a bit higher than I was hoping for.

Hello everyone!

We are doing something different for this Easter as there doesn't seem to be a massive appetite from Ricoh for the crazy lens deals that we've done in the past. I think the days are gone when events like this will happen

We've bought the entire refurbished / demo stock from Ricoh Europe... All will be supplied with a 2 year warranty, the same as 'new' items.

This is due to be delivered in the next couple of days and includes cameras and lenses. It is a very large shipment of stock. Cameras include K-1, K-3 II, K-3, KP, K-70, K-S2, K-50, K-S1, K-5 II etc Lenses will include most of the full-frame range and many of the Limiteds / APS-C

I'll start a thread when the stock has arrived and has been processed...

If anyone is after a K-1 then I've got a very few left. These will be discounted a little further at Easter as they've supplied me a few more at a discounted price to clear.

We are also expecting our first shipment of K-1 Mark II's today or tomorrow.

I'm guessing this means nobody knows.

lol - It's that time of year where you daren't order anything because you know it could be reduced tomorrow!

Any expectations of SRS having Easter deals again this year?

Anyone know is there a deadline on getting these done - was a bout to buy a couple of used Sigmas for my K-1 but current owners haven't had it done - I don't want to buy them if it's too late.
