Originally posted by robgski I used to shop at the same store when I lived in Wuerzburg, I love that city. In any case, one store in Germany hardly refutes the idea that Penttax does not have as much of a retail presence as its competitors. In my corner of the US, there are no retailers within a two hour drive that stock new Pentax gear, though a few are a great source of used Pentax gear.
I agree about Würzburg. However, I wasn’t attempting to refute anything, other than the oft-repeated exaggeration that Pentax has no presence in high-street stores. In my case, the last remaining photo store in my little city in the part of Australia closest to the South Pole has Pentax in its window whenever there’s a new body on the market. In your case, from what I’ve read here over the years, Pentax’s various representatives in the US and Canada have created a situation worse than many other parts of the world.
