Thanks gtis.

Going by Mat's earlier posted links. I checked out the Jacobs store and found what I needed. Higher price than that quoted by SRS, but that's only because I would have to pay full price on the 18-135, and not the white box price of SRS.

Still debating now if I should just get body only with Jacobs, lens with SRS. Or let my wife just get both Items from Jacobs in London and have done with it.

Jeeez!

Don't think I had this much trouble buying the last car

Thanks again Mat.

Think the best bet here would be to keep it to the area's you mentioned. Should imagine she'll be heading in that general direction anyway for the 'fashionable' stores.

The Jessops home page showing ''All Pentax'' is a a bit of a rarity.

Here in Jersey, Jessops is more of a non entity regarding Pentax.

I got a decent quote from SRS. K-5 with 18-135mm worked out at £1049 with delivery at £22.99 RMS for Jersey.

Now here's the thing: Because I'm a Jersey resident, I can claim back VAT on certain goods. In a lot of cases this can be resolved on-line, Amazon for instance.

SRS cannot do this without an actual visit to their shop, and filling out the relevant forms I'm told. Something to do with the computers at SRS not allowing this to happen.

However, not every shop will waive the VAT for you. In most cases it's just a question of asking first.

Cheers Mat and cmik.

Some good info there.

I quickly looked up Microglobe, no K-5's but some nice lenses in.

Got to be worth a visit.

Don't want to confuse her too much though, so if I can nail it down to a few shops in a given area she should be okay

Would I be right in thinking this is probably the more likelier area to get what I need.

Thanks Barrie.

I got in touch earlier on today with SRS. Problem is there based in Watford, no way my lady could get there and back in time.

Pity they don't have a place more central really.

Okay the plan was to get the K-5 via on-line shopping.

Amazon it now seems won't deliver the K-5 to Jersey, not had this problem before with anything else.

No biggie.

My wife will be in London in a few weeks time. She'll have a couple of hours to kill and get a little shopping before the flight home.

On the premise she can find the right camera shop.

I'm hoping she can pick up a K-5, along with a 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 ED AL
(IF) DC WR Lens.


So any idea's/pointers to the best place for Pentax gear much appreciated.


Best regards
