Isn't UK Digital one of those companies that appears to be based in the UK but where the stuff actually comes direct from the Far East (i.e. grey imports)? Didn't stop there for that reason.
There web site is nova .co.uk they was a Chinese lens
The bloke said to me when he firs saw the lens he asked why a wide angle macro and the reply was flowers on a mountain slope the photo he showed was effective

we had a job to get them to get the 150/450 out of the glass case and put it on a k3

i had to hassle them to do that yet on panasonic they was incouraging you to have a play

it was more like help yourself and if you want to try another lens then lets see what we have

with memory cards in and that arena you could take the photos and then have a play round with them on the camera
i think even canon and nikon would have somthing to learn from that stand

(i enjoyed it there even though i would not be buying one )

After visiting the pentax stand at the photo show i was not impresed
the reps did not seem to want to push any of there products and even when pushed they were not really trying to sell there wares

how do ricoh think they are going to succed with that sort of attitude

and if i was not a pu i would have thought twice about a pentax
