Thanks for that.
My translation of that is that he is saying Vanbar can't offer it for a GB because to offer a GB saving to buyers Vanbar would have to get an additional discount out of CRK on the wholesale price, otherwise Vanbar wouldn't make any $$ themselves on the deal. And since demand is so high for the K-5 atm, CRK don't feel inclined to do any discounting.
Bad news for us, good news for Pentax
I guess, since it appears the K-5 is going to be a hit.
