Originally posted by mecrox The next few weeks will tell, but I'm wondering a little whether the latest pricing action may be related to extremely limited supplies worldwide of the K5II and K5IIs. Just a speculation. At the moment they are rare as hen's teeth where I live and after speaking to my dealer on the phone I am beginning to wonder if there will be enough around to make purchasing one in a b&m store possible other than by making a reservation in advance.
I`m considering my first DSLR primarily to mount my K and M42 lenses.
I`ve been following K5 prices including that of the new model and the S also.
Surprisingly ,as yet, the K5 classic price seems to be holding firm in the UK .
About £673 ($673) for the K5, £800 ($1278) for the 2 and £930 ($1486) for the S .....body prices only of course.
