When I purchased my K100D in September of 2006, I got the only one, besides the display, that was in the local store.
A few months later, I was in the store again and noticed that there were several K100D's in his stock case and a couple of K10D's. But, the only lens he had for the Pentax cameras were the Promaster line.
Yesterday afternoon after work, I dropped by that store to pick up a UV filter and while there asked if they were going to bring in any of the new K20's. 'Yes, but I don't know when they'll be here." was the answer.
While talking to the sales person, I noticed that they now have a number of Pentax Lens in their case. Half dozen FA 50mm f/1.4s, about the same number of DA 50-200's, a couple of Da 16-45's and one DA* 50-135.
I asked him why they had decided to bring in all of those lens? He said, "we've begun to sell quite a few of the Pentax cameras and thought we should have some lens in stock as well." I asked how many Pentax cameras he had sold lately. "Actually, quite a lot." "We've sold more of them in the last year than in probably the three previous years combined."
Thought I'd share that bit of info.
