Where are you going to be in S. Virginia? I'm afraid there is little or no Pentax representation in SE. Virginia. The only stores that carry Pentax are Ritz stores, and their stock is haphazard. They do not carry any lenses other than the most basic kit (DA18-55 and DA55-200) some stores may have some old FA-Js around, but they are few and far between and generally not worth the money.

do not worry this time i am not interested in pentax lenses, maybe one or two.
my friend will buy and send them to me to sell in Turkey...
i heard that b&h is a good store to bargain, but they don't have a local store in s. virg.
phone will help i think...
am i right??
thanks

You'll probably have better luck if you go to northern Virginia. Denser population = more stores. More pawn shops probably too if you're looking for used and bargains.

Agreed. Try Ace Photo in Ashburn. There is also Penn Photo in Northern VA. I don't know if they are any good or not.
