Wow, thank you. I will keep that in mind if I don't manage. But my goals are more long-term: I want to shake some sense into the local distributors. I've been trying to order a 77/1.8 for over a year, but am reluctant to sink money into my Pentax gear if I can't even depend on them for replacement parts. Imgine going to various camera shops every month for a year, asking them: "Have you got my eyecups yet?" "Nope, the rep says Pentax forgot to order them again". "Oh. Any price on a 77/1.8 yet" "Nope, the distributors never phoned back. The guy I spoke to last didn't even know such a thing existed" "Oh. Did you get that Pentax camera case for that dentist yet?" "Nope. No response from Pentax the past two years." Sheesh! Every night I tuck my cameras in bed as if they're orphans in an orphanage, or refugees or something :-) -- ,_ /_) /| / / i e t e r / |/ a g e l http://www.nagel.co.za - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
