you can always call the shops to get the latest, up-to-date prices.
or would you like me to do that for you?
oooh! tough crowd here... my apologies again for wasting everyone's time ;p
will be extra extra careful before i ever ask another question on the forum again... sorry.

:sweat:
is not a waste of time, is improving your use of time.
what people quote may not be up-to-date................
and then if they quote a price they got a year ago, and you run to the shop and they tell you prices had increased from a year ago, will you be happy?
my point is, there is no point asking such a question, much better to call up 3 or 4 reliable shops, pick the best price, and go. off by a bit of money ($10-20), if you like the shop, can give - it's your choice.
most pentax users tend to be quite price-savvy, so this is S.O.P, imho. which is why 2 - 3 years ago, you would not see such a question pop up even , the guys here love to do their homework and be diligent.
i guess this is in some sense, good, because it shows that pentax is appealing to a wider crowd than just that.
so i thought i would have another reference point and i certainly don't like cold-calling shops cos i really haven't had much good experience in doing it that way, mostly... exceptions are like Ray from SLR.
why?
it's part of a salesman's job... as long as you don't ask for fun, and ask for a reason, i don't think there's anything wrong - every possible enquiry leads to a sale.
try telling that to the gruff, bo-chap, not-interested voice on the other side of the line... well anyway thats my experience with electronics and hifi shops.
i check all my quotes these past few weeks with Ray from SLR Revolution. I felt paiseh to ask him again bec i keep asking for prices of stuff which i eventually don't buy or were just quotes requested by family & friends.
so i thought i would have another reference point and i certainly don't like cold-calling shops cos i really haven't had much good experience in doing it that way, mostly... exceptions are like Ray from SLR.
So i did make a search prior to asking here. But i only searched on the pentax forum (after all i'm asking abt a pentax mount lens...) and found no reference to price. i did not know that there was one under marketplace section.
so once again, mea culpa, i'm the worst searcher on this forum. sorry...
the question is, the update on the latest pricing and the latest cameras is still no where to be found
hi gsiguy, i got mine from manly last month for 735 (gst incl.). i've sent a pm to gengh for the update as well.
