My biggest disappointment was when I made the mistake of phoning Orms (Cape Towns biggest and most well known camera store)... and they said to me they dont stock any Pentax gear as they
only deal with professional brands !!
Not one shop in Durban sells Pentax - Whysalls used to support the so called brands like Ricoh, Casio where the other shops didn't and also Pentax.
I bought my K10D from them (it had been on their shelves for about 6 months) it was their only Pentax product.
In SA I reckon 99.9% of Pentax products will be done online.
Our market is too small and Canon & Nikon have it dominated.
