crazy expensive

Mistral75 · 10-20-2019, 07:38 AM

Better buy locally. €49 includes 20% VAT and is equivalent to $45.59 + sales tax.

Cheap, for such a high quality part!

Aaron28 · 10-20-2019, 08:17 AM

nifty but ain't spending fifty...would look awesome my K-2 but its missing the decorative cover on the winding lever anyways....

Could anyone from France or Germany/Austria be so kind to help me get one? Unfortunately there's no option of shipping abroad (and no Ricoh Imaging Romania to buy from...)
Please PM me if so.

It's listed on german and uk sites as well.

I think Adam should sell the hsc here, it will support the forums and Ricoh.

watch eBay ..... if there is much demand actually for them, there is bound to be a Chinese "knockoff" soon - the value of the real things comes only from its rarity.

How much market would there be for a Pentax cover @ over $50 that can be replaced by a piece of plastic for under $10???
Or are there a number of members who are desperate to run up their post count, because they are desperate to win anything?

well

I don't want the cover

I don't consider that as doing anything wrong

so am I, and I never accused anyone of wrong-doing - it just seems kind of strange to me.
