Oh I know what you mean, I was living in Melbourne for yrs. :-(

Their current predicament is a function of a lack of direction regarding
marketing and advertising which ties back to the lack of communication and
unpredictable line development. And all this is topped off with a lack of
communication and control over the behaviour of designated distributors world-
wide.
Take for instance our local distributor, virtually every Pentax SLR body that
they sell here ships with a Sigma lens. This has been happening for years and
it's ingrained to the point where the local perception is almost that Sigma is
a Pentax brand. Actual Pentax lenses (apart from the 28-200 zooms etc) are
truly hard to find here.
It really is difficult remaining loyal to the brand these days with all these
contradictory messages being flung about :-(
