We are really hopeful that with the launch of the great new full frame Pentax K-1 that the distribution of Pentax will dramatically improve.

We do have the full range of cameras available for demonstration in all of our offices.

All of the dealers mentioned in your post have accounts with us and buy other merchandise regularly , for Pentax we will do our best to improve distribution.

There is a reasonable range at TEDS.

We appropriate very much this feedback.

Kind regards

Malcolm Kennedy

Hi Malcolm,

Thankyou for communicating directly with us (Aussie Pentax users) via this forum. As you can see, it is easy for speculation and rumours to take on a life of their own. So it is greatly appreciated that you shared information about CRKennedy's current situation and future plans.

I have two questions if I may regarding availability of the K-1: (note: I have pre-ordered from CRK)

Based on latest update from Ricoh, When are you realistically expecting to commence shipping?

Secondly, in addition to fulfilling direct pre-orders, are you also planning for retailers such as Ted's to receive stock from this same first shipment?

Thanks and Best Regards
Dave

Good for you Rod , Would love to see you get up close and personal with birds without them flying off.

I dont have any long lenses. my longest lens was Sigma70-200 which i sold to a respective buyer in Hong Kong.

Khos, do you want to borrow my Tokina SD 400mm? I'm not using it so much now I have the DA* 60-250.

Hi Ron, Thanks for the offer. Is the Tokina AF or MF ?
