So B&H customer service says they have no idea what the SN's of the K3II stock they have on hand, but they sell a lot of them and you will probably get a recent (whatever that means) one if you order one now.
Hello, it was a recall. Is B&H really going to continue to sell bodies that need to go to service for inspection immediately upon receipt by the customer. That doesn't make sense at all. Pentax didn't contact them and request the current stock back so they could inspect them before selling them to customers? I'm sure they will sort that out, but I'm not ordering from B&H until I hear it's the 6206661 or higher SN's.
Amazon says they are out of stock until July 21st, so that's promising. Might go ahead and order one from them and see what # comes up. Free no questions asked returns if it's not the right number...
I hope the 2 year extended warranty I bought 2 weeks ago will apply to a camera I receive 2 weeks from now. LOL. It would really suck to have to explain 2 years from now that I had to return 2 K3II bodies because of the recall and that's why I have a warranty older than the camera.
The joys of being a Pentax shooter.
