Default No Promise (Cleaning kit)

I'm going over to JB this Sun to get some Pentax Sensor Cleaning kits. I'd already reserved 3 for myself, Nomoney & Night86mare. The shop says they have 3 more, so I may just grab them if they are avaliable and bros here are interested. The price I was quote RM140 each a month back. Hope to bargain a little. Also the shop said they recieved news that FA 50mm f1.4 will arrive next week, he'll keep me updated. The price is about S$330-S$340, slightly cheaper than Singapore last quote S$350.

NoMoney & Night86mare, maybe we can all meet on Monday lunch time.

Nice info....
But with the difference of only >$50 for a grey set... i guess most will go for local warranty set with a faster response of servicing should it be needed.

The price I was quote was RM7xx (around OP price +-) with shop stamp & recognised by Shriro Malaysia Meaning you'll be able to convert it to International warranty.
This is the reason why I didn't get from OP

Converting? Will it be a long wait with paperwork need to be done to get it into international warranty?
I don't know... personally... if the difference is lie only a saving of less than SGD$50, guess i will just pick one local set up instead of keeping finger crossed all the time.

Detail to convert International can be found in all Pentax bodies/lens/accessories. They have a sheet of paper there to tell you how to do it.
Also I don't know if Shriro Malaysia and Shriro Singapore getting shipment at the same time. Cause currently 50mm f1.4 is out of stock.

For those who like to buy lenses from overseas Pentax authorised dealer, you can request for International warranty card before purchase. Aden camera (Canada) is doing this for their overseas customer. I'll check with JB shop if he's willing to give International Warranty card for the 50mm f1.4.

Just got back from JB. Only managed to grab 5 as the shop sold 1 the other day. The price I got is RM140 each, if anyone want I can post the reciept. I paid by CC so don't know how much is Citibank's rate today, so either pay me in RM or S$61.80 (based on goggle current exchange rate). Collection will be Shaw Plaza (Balestier) or Tao Payoh/Novena MRT.

Nomoney, night86mare, slacker, livetofly pm me when you'll like collect it.

Nomoney - collected
night86mare - collected
slacker - reservered
livetofly - collected

the mac 13: bro sorry don't have yours, if any of them want to back out I'll pm you.

Maybe when I go there get 50mm f1.4 I'll check for you again.

BTW for those interested in the 50mm f1.4, the shop I'll be getting from in JB will provide Pentax Original International Warranty.
