Pentax AF-360FGZ Super Buy

Not sure if everyone knows about this or not and I guess this is while supplies last but Circuit City has the AF360FGZ for $147.24 plus tax shipped free!

Hi Buddha

If you ever needed confirmation of Rip-Off Britain, see how our typical prices compare against Circuit City's $147.24 + tax shipped free !:

Pentax AF360FGZ Automatic Flash withCarrying Case : Flash & Cable : Flash Guns : Buy a Pentax AF360FGZ Automatic Flash withCarrying Case:Fotosense

That's $280.00 give-or-take a few cents......don't ya just lurve the good ol' USA !!!

Best regards
Richard

but you are being paid in UK pounds too, not in US dollars... so no reason to complain...

Hi deejjjaaaa

O.K., in that case, you go and buy an AF360FGZ for $280.00 instead of $147.24.......well, THAT ain't gonna happen, now is it ?

Best regards
Richard

It doesn't exactly work that way. Wages are not that much bigger. Not even when converted to US dollars.

I am paid in US dollars, you are paid in UK pounds... pay me the same "x" K/year in UK pounds instead of US dollars and I will be glad to buy it for UK pounds 139.95

Thanks, Buddha, I wish it is also available to Canada - I wonder if I can order it from the website. Even with shipping and taxes, it is still cheaper than purchasing it in Canada. Any Canadians here?

I also have one AF360FGZ and it works well in P-TTL mode. A second AF360FGZ would be good or wireless application so I really don't need the swivel on AF540FGZ which is more expensive. Any advice would be much appreciated,

ofcrouse it will be cheaper

there is not a single brick and mortar store in canada that can match the US prices, even with shipping and taxes we still come out on top.

Thanks, Gooshin, I purchase my K10D via thecamerastore in Calgary so I can get 2-year warranty of the body. For the rest of the stuff, the closest one would be Prodigital2000 online via flebay; otherwise, I shop from BHPhoto or Adorama.

I have one AF360FGZ already, and I want to add another flash, do you think it is better to have the AF540FGZ instead of the AF360FGZ as a second flash?
