When I get a new camera, I put the old camera system in old bag in the closet as backup and purchase new bag for new camera.
I will be purchasing new bag in the next 12 months - either a larger bag for a K-1 or a smaller bag for a KP

I'm so different. For me i's 5 camera bags, any camera bag any time chosen for the equipment I'm taking that day. That of course adds 15 minutes to any trip, figuring out what to take and which bag to take. For the Q, it has it's own bag. K=1 ad K-1 are almost all interchangeable parts, camera bodies and lens, so it has to be a time of departure decision.

Since this giveaway is sponsored by us any not any specific retailer, we have the flexibility of ordering the camera anywhere in the world. While any import fees would still be the responsibility of the recipient, this should allow for the minimization of potential costs.

Thanks for that clarification - there are a lot of people haven't entered previously who might be entered by default - maybe without even knowing it - this time around and it does make a difference

I think it's a plot to keep us from reaching the goal.

It is like that every morning.

We have already made 1211 posts today - if we make that many Mon - Fri, then the "raffle" will occur

**dadipentak** · 08-26-2018, 12:11 PM

Ok, if we get into the intricacies of import duties, we'll have no problem meeting the goal.

So, use all the "money saved" to purchase a lens or two.
