My local dealer won't even stock them now it's been that way for years. Everyone that goes in for an SLR including all the students from our college inevitably comes out with a C***n, needless to say I never buy anything there, not even film. The last film I bought there was out of date so I took it back for a refund, the local chemist has fresh stock. There's another camera shop within quarter of a mile that still has secondhand stock, every Pentax lens he gets is well below the price I'd expect to pay on Ebay. If he had enough stock I could make a living out of his business!!!
