Pentax K1 upgrade to ii - Official in SGP

[pinholecam]

Good news!

APDS has confirmed that the K1 upgrade to K1ii is available in Singapore.
The cost is SGD660


Great move by Pentax and local distro in taking care of the K1 user base.


(now that I edited the price from $750 to $660 after confirming again with APDS)

Thanks Felix for sharing, after Goggle Translate.

Like
1) Fast AF for general use.
2) AF check before main board replacement.
Don't like
1) No replacement for K1 to K1 MarkII logo.
Still a go for me.

was advise that this update will only last about 3 months from May. They just send the 1st batch for upgrades. 2nd batch likely to be mid June. Lead time 3-4 weeks. $660 inc gst for the upgrade (payment upon collection)
