Ace Photo Demo Day, 17 Nov, Ashburn, VA

For anyone in the area, Ace Photo in Ashburn, VA is having their annual Demo Day on Saturday, November 17th, from 9am to 6pm.

EVERYTHING will be sold at Cost!

They will have Reps there from every major manufacturer including Pentax. I'm hoping against hope that the Pentax guy might bring a DA* 300 (my dream lens).

If anyone in the area wants to meet up over there, let me know...

Dang, wish I could attend (I live in Gainesville), but my wife and I have a previous committment. She would absolutely skin me alive if I didn't go with her. Thanks for the info.

Just noticed that if you get add the kit lens (18-70mm f/3.5-5.6) to the A-100, the price is jacked up to $10M.

I ordered my Sigma 10-20mm from them (everyone including B&H/Adorama were out of stock at the time) and they were helpful on the phone and promptly shipped out the lens to me in Pennsylvania. Seems like nice folks!

They are great folks... Most of the sales staff have switched to Pentax from Canon and Nikon in the last year too. The owner shoots a K10D and has actually asked my permission to use 2 of my shots, Climbing Turn & Little River Cascade as point-of-sale displays to show off what the K110D (or K100D/Super) with the DA18-55mm (Little River Cascade) and DA50-200mm (Climbing Turn) can do...

Took the plunge

Thanks for the tip MRRiley!

I went to Ace today and picked up a K100D Super kit for $525... $425 after rebate... nice!

I thought about the K10, but their price seemed very high ($920 - their cost?) It was $899 at Ritz!

Anyway, here is photo I took in my backyard this evening...

Thanks again!
