I was on the stand for approx. half an hour and did not hear one European accent or see one Japanese person among the reps. If they were at lunch (12.45 to.1.15) together then that was bad planning. They don't have to sell on the stand but they can be there to answer users (old and new) technical questions. I spoke to two young reps and they were not what you could call completely clued up. So OK they let you play with the equipment that was available but was that really enough????????????????
CHEERS Vic.


and i had to push to let me play with them and then i wasnt alowed to try it on my camera

at the end of the day they had products to promot and to me they was not doing that you have to sell that product so that when that person gose away they want to buy and i think a lot of people did not

there was a lot of people walking past and not even giving them a second glance

buisness is buisness and you have to grab the bull by the horns and shake it up

Yes, interesting to see the lens manufacturers walking away from Pentax, but unfortunately quite understandable given the size of our market.
SRS lists 40 Pentax K-mount lenses.

Let 'em walk.
problem is when they walk it meens pentax price gose up and to be honest they are not cheap
you dont get the range
and the customer base will get smaller as we all get older
and just like the little independant camera shops who know there product which thinking about it was where the main pentax customer was based as also gone

there is a lot of mixed reviews on the 16/50 i have just looked on dpreview and one person as said its a heap of junk anothere has said its not the best and the othere have said it is ok
where as the 16/85 is the total opposite they rave sbout it

but then the 16/50 is 7year old and the 16/85 is what abot 5 /6 month old not really been out long enough to find the problems yet
