Hey Chris! I think I bought something from you once. Maybe an LX?
Nice to see you again! cheers, frank --- Original Message --- From: Chris Brogden <cbrog...@donsphoto.ca> Sent: March 22, 2013 3/22/13 To: "'Pentax-Discuss Mail List'" <pdml@pdml.net> Subject: FS Friday: Pentax 645D with AF 55mm f2.8 SDM lens Hi, everyone. Old-timers may remember me from back in the day when Pentax ran the list and the grass was at least +3 saturation greener. At any rate, it's good to see a lot of familiar names. As some of you know, I manage a Don's Photo store in sunny Winnipeg, Manitoba (motto: "If you can force your door open, it's not a snow day"). We're a friendly, family-owned independent company with 8 stores in Canada. The one in south Winnipeg has a good-looking manager who's shot Pentax his whole life, starting with an S3. :) I got into medium format when Bill Casselberry (Photography on the Oregon Coast) mailed me a few slides he had shot. The tonal range and beautiful colours blew me away, and it wasn't long before I got my own 67II. To the point: we brought in several 645D bodies from Pentax, and have sold all of them except for our last two shelf models. These have been taken out of the box to show customers at the counter level, but have not left the store. They have less than 800 actuations on them. We're selling them as 'new' open box items, which means they come with the full 1-year Pentax warranty (2 years if you register it with Pentax online), and are eligible for our Exceptional Service Plan on new equipment, which can add more time to Pentax's coverage. To make it easy, we handle all warranty claims for you. Anyone who's bought gear from us before knows that we're honest, fair, and take care of any problems for you. Because these are open-box cameras, the price is ridiculously low, so I wanted to let the PDML group know in case anyone's had their eye on one but was waiting for the price to drop. A look at PhotoPrice shows the 645D body selling for around $8800 in both Canada and the US: http://www.photoprice.ca/product/03348/Pentax-645D-price.html That's the body alone, no lens. By the time you add an AF 55mm f2.8, you're up around the $10k range. We're selling our last two 645D kits for $7225 CAN... and that includes the AF 55mm 2.8 SDM lens! No charge for shipping anywhere within Canada; email me with your zip code for a quote on US shipping. You're not going to find a better price, so if you were considering bypassing APS-C and full-frame sensors and stepping up to medium format, let me know. You can reach me by email at cbrog...@donsphoto.ca or phone at (204) 254-9075.
