Honda link with Pentax?

Arpe · 10-16-2008, 04:34 PM

Yeah NZ$7 at the mo is around $4.20 I think. But anything can happen at present! The exchange is about NZ$1=US$0.60 now. When I bought some lenses from B&H about a year ago (?) it was US$0.82! I'm still amazed that I managed to fluke the perfect timing.

I'll be in touch re getting it to you.

Yeah, exchange rates can go by their charted path, but suddenly confuse all the stat-makers. It's kind of like buying gas...last week was $3.49/gal (good deal) and this week it's $2.97/gal. Go figure

Oops, should have PM'ed this message...oh well...sorry Arjay

I know there used to be a motorcycle racing team called Honda Pentax Racing Team, there was also a Minolta Suzuki Castrol team, both competed in the FIM endurance series in Japan many years ago.......maybe they are still around

No Worries, Ryan. If that perfect condition strap went for so little in NZ I'd have to pay someone to take mine from my collection.

Sold off the SFXn so gave away the perished and decaying strap as it was obviously age appropriate. Also gave away the second SFXn as part of the deal. Don't miss any of them...

Was there a tie in back when the camera was young?
