Originally posted by grhazelton I just clicked on your link to their site - the implication is that their WEBSTORE is closing - nothing said about any brick & mortar locations closing.
It does fly in the face of current trends if their web business is shutting down and NOT the retail, but I take few things at face value anymore. Maybe others here will provide additional proof/info.
On a side note I searched for PENTAX on Porter's and found a Promaster flash and a generic battery charger. Perhaps that's why they're closing this down - not enough Pentax gear, eh?
