Hi all.
My new lenses arrived today from C.R. Kennedy (Pentax's Australian
importer). They matched B&H's price exactly, paid via credit card and
delivered to my P.O. Box quicker than I could get it from the states.
I have an invoice so I have Australian (world wide) warranty. The
invoice does st
HI All,
Well, not a lot of interest from my last message. If you feel I have
an over-enthusiastic idea of what an item is worth then feel free to
make me an offer. Anything I don't sell here will be on e-Bay this
week-end. Feel free to ask for more information or more pictures.
Prices include
It is time to clean out the cupboard of some equipment that is simply
too nice to be locked away (while making room for new toys). Feel
free to ask for more information or more pictures.
Prices include delivery worldwide via Express Post International to

Wish me luck.

But yes, it's taking everything into account except the toll and
petrol to drive over and put in the customs forms (which realistically
I could do via fax anyway).

HI All,
I want to buy a couple of lenses. I've priced them locally and via
mail order from B&H. If I buy locally it will cost me an extra AU$900
(after GST, shipping and currency exchange, etc). That's over half a
