FA 43 Silver?

Munki · 10-18-2017, 06:06 PM

Hi,

The FA 43 silver product page on your website says that it's no longer available? Is this a permanent thing?

Hello;

Sadly yes from what I can see in our data base.

~~Is that likely a Pentax thing or B&H just no longer stocking it?~~

Nevermind. I didn't realise there had been a decline in availability in the silver since 2014!

AFAIK the silver version was discontinued way before then. Who knows though, maybe Pentax will bring it back now that the K-1 is out!

Oh really? So are they're actually not making them any more at the moment? That's interesting to know. I just might buy the one I've been eyeing then!

I don't think so. But I could be mistaken, maybe they're around in Japan.

It's interesting to see they're not showing up on the Pentax Australia website either... I just purchased the "last" silver off their eBay store.
