I am in the process of making the switch from minolta to pentax. I am not selling all my minolta lenses yet though - there is always hope for a cheap full frame camera from sony!
I just ordered the K10D yesterday from beachcamera. What a day to get it - it was obsolete within an hour after I ordered it
But there is no way I can afford the K20D anytime soon, so no problems there.
I am trying to get the 43mm/1.9 ltd lens before the rebate expires next week. I saw it at beach camera a couple of weeks ago for $449-$100(rebate), and at adorama for $459-$100. But it is out of stock at both places. So my questions are:
- how is digital foto club? They seem to have fairly decent resellerratings. They have the lens for $457-$100, but I am afraid they might send a gray market version. Anyone have experience with them? The other option is getting it from B&H, but that means an extra $20 (which is quite a bit for a grad student).
- same question for Abe's of Maine. They have it for $458-$100. Any experience with them?
- does anyone know if Pentax would have another rebate after this one expires? I am willing to wait a few weeks for adorama/beach to have the lens in stock if I can get the rebate then.
thanks all!
