Anyone from Australia got an email about EOFY discounts from Kennedys?

I usually get them, but seen nothing to date. 10-15% would make the difference between me salivating over a Limited, and parting with my money for one. But maybe they are waiting for Fathers Day ... and I will have to find some patience.

Up to a maximum of $300...

There's been a couple of posts on OZ EOFY discounts:

As mentioned already DCXPERT is part of an EBAY 20% discount offer: DCXpert has 20% off - PentaxForums.com

And Post #88 refers to a DIGIDIRECT 15% off sale to check out as well: Pentax Australia 15% sale - Page 6 - PentaxForums.com

I picked up a HD 43mm LTD from DCXPERT, had it within two days of ordering too.

I would certainly expect one soon, perhaps next week. The dcxpert sale is 20% off, but on a limited range of items.

I doubt CRK will better the 20% off DCxpert deal, so I have jumped - a silver 31 limited on its way. Thanks all!

Now all I need is some nice weather ...

Thanks Bill. Picked up the last DA 16-85 for $662, which is the best price it's been for years.

A conspicuous absentee being the K-3iii, which starts at $2795 (body only), about the same as CRK. Cheapest price I could see in Oz was about $50 cheaper at DigiDirect. I hope it will come down for the November sale.

Enjoy it. Those crisp cold winter days in Canberra and the region around offer some great photo ops.

The K3iii is also included in the sale.

Yes you are right. I didn't see the $300 off ebay deal when I first looked at these.

**GeeEmm** · 06-24-2021, 11:08 PM

Mine arrived yesterday, and I collected it today. Judging by the serial, no 79 off the line! Do the black and the silver get a single run of serials, or are they numbered separately?

Unpacking it, two things occurred to me. It is bigger than I expected, and what am I going to do if CRK offer 10-15% off in addition to the ebay 20%!?!

All Black start with "8" , all silver start with "2" , regardless if Premium or not.

what do you mean?:
"no 79 off the line!"

The extra discount? well , just sit down and cry , apparently it is healthy .

**GeeEmm** · 06-25-2021, 12:52 AM

Interesting, my serial is 1000079, neither a 2 or an 8 to be seen ...

Nope, that link is for the K3 serials.

I have entered mine on the SMC list, there doesn't appear to be one for the HD lenses. To answer my question above, the HD lenses appear (from a sample of two) to be 7 digits, versus the SMC 5 digits, starting at 1000001. Not yet clear whether the silver and black have a separate serial range, but I'd suggest not.
