In Raleigh Peace Street Camera has a few used Pentax film bodies and a couple of weeks ago a K-r digital body. It's on Peace Street about half way between Capitol and Glenwood.

They also have a handfull of manual focus lenses and occaisionally an AutoFocus lens or two.

There's another shop in Durham that does in-store camera repairs that has a few older Pentax film bodies and some lenses. I don't recall the name of the store but if you'd like I can find it for you.

Both stores have new Tamron K-mount lenses in stock, at full retail price.

Unfortunately both shops had problems with Pentax distribution a few years back so they haven't been carrying new cameras for a while.

I was looking for a digital. I might try CompUSA because I live in North Raleigh.

The Capitol Blvd CompUsa has had Nikons and Canons in the store. I don't recall seeing any Pentx DSLRs there, but their inventory changes regularly.

Here's Peace Cameras number, you should cal lthem and see if they still have the K-r.

421 West Peace Street Raleigh, NC 27603

Hmm, I usually only go to Durham for the doctor's or Scrap Exchange. I might stop there when I go to the NASHER.
