In the Atlanta area, the Wolf Camera Ultra in Buckhead is about the only B&M store that has a decent Pentax selection. There is a small independent shop called Camera Bug on Briarcliff that carries Pentax but they don't have a large inventory. There is another independent camera shop called Showcase that only carries Nikon & Canon but they do have a great selection of accessories. And of course there's KEH, which probably sells more used equipment that anyone else, but they don't have a retail showroom. When I buy from KEH, I look up the equipment online, call their sales phone and tell them I'm going to come pick it up. I really don't save on the shipping costs since they charge $5 for pickup
but I can get my "new to me" stuff immediately.
I really wish I could tell you that there are a lot of local shops that carry Pentax but sadly that's not the case...
Please let me know if I can help in any way.

End of august my wife will go to Atlanta for a job and will stay there for about two weeks. Actually the € ist so strong against the $ that it would be a really good deal for me to buy lenses in the United States.
Can anybody give me some adresses of good camera stores for Pentax cameras and Lenses for Pentax cameras in Atlanta? Im especially interrested in the Sigma 50-500 ("Bigma")
Thx for your help
