Surprisingly indeed. Here in Vancouver Canada, the major stores even stock some expensive lenses like FA*80-200 and FA*400. No such thing in Australia or in HK where most retailers didn't even bother to serve you if you asked for those items. >Let's face it Malcolm, we here on this list know what are Pentax' strengths >as >compared to N***** or C****.

I think it's the lack of image that Pentax has been suffering. It doesn't matter what Pentax has made, people just won't notice. regards, Alan Chan _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
