I am heading off to Sydney in a few weeks, and because I live in the middle of no-where, I almost have no selection when it comes to buying discontinued/used lenses. So, if any of you live in Sydney, of have been to Sydney and know of a good place to buy lenses such as these, I would really appreciate some good advice. Also, any other recommendations are welcome. Cheers, Joshua!

I have mail ordered quite a bit of gear from Digidirect but I have not been to their store. You can find their prices on their website.

Cheap Digital Cameras, SLR Cameras & Video Cameras - Canon, Sony, Nikon, Olympus, JVC | DigiDIRECT Australia
75 King St. Sydney NSW 2000
Level 1, Shop 1044, Bondi Junction

Also before you go to Sydney check the prices on
www.pentax.com.au and
dcxpert items - Get great deals on Digital SLR Backpacks, Digital SLR Messenger packs items on eBay Stores!

I believe both sites are part of CR Kennedy providing people an alternative to the grey market. I have purchased from both and also had good service.

Digital camera warehouse is always a reference for pricing of new materials.

I also bought (online) my K-01 from:
digiDIRECT Australia
75 King Street, Sydney NSW 2000

I was happy with the service and the price. They are also legitimate Pentax seller in Australia

I also used (online) CR Kennedy (based in Melbourne):
* They are the official Pentax distributor
* They trade also as DCXpert ebay shop - ("DCXpert ebay shop" entered as a Google search should get them).
They have some good price every so often and offer a great service.

Hope that the info may assist.

PS: Bob, you beat me on the line....

Always good to have a couple of opinions/experiences that match. Hate to lead someone up the garden path.

Digital Camera Warehouse often have a TON of gear on hand of all sorts, which includes Pentax stuff, so they are always worth a visit for a look around. They have pretty good prices and decent service too.
