True! Or a very large backpack.
Originally posted by RobA_Oz AU$6,560 for the DA560/5.6 is good buying when B&H lists it for AU$7,945 plus shipping, and it's not listed on the Pentax Australia website, at all. What's stopping you?
On the other hand, I'm fascinated by the array of multi-coloured K-50s, with their shiny mounts seemingly wide open to the air! One would hope they'd carefully clean the sensor before they passed one over to a paying customer!
The K50 cases were just that. Empty cases.

Wish I could justify buying one!

Thanks for posting this one!
Please shop around, because in the past I have found Yodobashi to be the most expensive. Also make sure that you get anything expensive tax free - you'll need your passport. That will drop the price straight away, but Yodobashi will only do it when you spend over 10,000 yen (roughly US$100). I got better prices from Map camera in Shinjuku. There's a Yodobashi in Shinjuku as well. More camera stores in Shinjuku than Akiba! Yodobashi tends to offer points as a "discount" but that's only useful if you're going to come back again, not for a one-off purchase. Having said that, if your purchase is big enough, you might be able to buy something on points straight away.
