Wolf/Ritz to possibly carry Pentax again!

[forensicscientist]

While my local Wolf Camera does not "officially" sell Pentax any longer....it seems they have "close-out stock" as the employee told me. When I asked specifically what they had, he said "pretty much anything you want".

I said OK, how about the FA-31mm? He went into the back, and re-appeared with a brand new, in the box, FA-31mm. Price: $880+tax. The box had never been opened....I was the first.

so who knows what the future holds. Maybe my local Wolf just has lots of unsold stuff??

I just bought a 55-300 from Wolf's eBay store, clearanceCtr. They shipped from Fort Worth. Picked up a perfect 'demo' lens in the box for 279.00 with full warranty. We have nothing at our local Ritz.

I just went to the Ritz webpage. They have K7 and K-m's in stock according to the web page. I don't see any lenses or flashes.

Edit, they have a LOAD of pentax lenses on the clearance page.

18-250 for 340
55-300 for 297
50-135 for 790
16-50 for 620..

I wish I had some money..

I bought one of those also. Needed something to cover the longer focal length range and the price seemed real good. The lens looks like new, the box was a little tattered.

I bought mine before the DA L kit version was released.

I read about Adorama, B&H and Tristate, I can buy cheaper from them in NY than I can wolf / ritz anywhere, so brick and morter are fine, but just don't gouge, because we the customer can't be loyal to 1970 pricing, when we couldn't shop around
