That's exactly what I meant -- "hard to find" and "not imported and warehoused by Pentax Canada" are not the same. There's a lot of stuff in that warehouse if you can find a retailer to order it in for you.
And I don't blame the retailers; we were boned on special orders all the time. One place I worked had a basement full of FM2s that were ordered by a school board. The person who ordered them went on maternity leave and the board decided not to pay. Then they were deeply offended that we suspended their account. -Aaron -----Original Message----- > I suspect that it is more an unwillingness of most retailers to bring in > high-ticket items without cash up front. I had to put money on the table before they would order the 15. Can't say as how I blame them, it isn't exactly a stock item.
