the link bore the notice

Quote:

Note: The PENTAX K-3 Mark III Premium Kits sold out!

the standard battery grip is black only

extra battery is available

I wonder at what cost if you don't buy the " European kit "

the black premium kit would have had a specially marked box and a leather strap as well as a black battery grip and extra battery

€2408.98 if bought separately. One could look at this as someone in Ricoh.eu having a sense of humor - The 'European Kit' is also sold in the Ricoh.Uk store

It's practical, because the unpleasant alternative is that Ricoh EU had excluded the UK.
And Europe is larger than the EU ...

I would suggest that the UK excluding themselves being more accurate. UK get the 'European Kit' at £2149.

Slightly over 50% of the eligible and active voters made that [stupid] decision. Fortunately I have residency rights in another European country.

Mind you, £1938 at current €/£ exchange rates... that gives you a grip and battery for £39!!

Amazon in Germany still has the black and silver premium kits in stock, but it seems also the new European kit (without calling it that way), since May 24, and indeed it comes with two batteries.

Edit - Correction, they say from the premium kits 'Derzeit nicht auf Lager' (not in stock).
