Michaels, i can understand. but when Vanbar sell a K-m Body only (wtf?) for more than Teds for their 18-55 Kit, something's wrong there...
notibly, Vanbar also don't sell the DA L kit either. it's either body only or with DA 16-45
Originally posted by joele See I find that funny as the two times of late I have gone in their the salesman tries to talk me out of getting anything not made by his personal diety - CANON. And an ex staff member told me they are VERY canon focused.. They advertise a lot of other stuff, but it seems to me once you go in that city store they push canon down your throat, to the point I no longer even walk in their door..
YMMV I guess? maybe I just get the bad salesman? I admit, I have been to a non Melbourne city store and they weren't the same...
Nope, i agree. last time i walked into Teds to look at the K-m, the clueless lady there wasn't helpful at all.
Teds, as a company, have always been big CR K supporters. the staff in the shops, Canon users... I saw one girl try and convince a customer to buy a 1000D instead of a D90
(not that that succeeded, btw, the customer left the shop with a K20D
)
It's fun to troll in their shops
i specifically ask about pentax stuff, and i loudly correct then when they're wrong (as they're invariably are).
Originally posted by joele And WOW that K200d is really cheap... $599 BUT it is even cheaper at Vanbar, only $572 on their website....
Was 559 at DCW... 599+1 was how much i got mine back in july...
