Pentax dealer in Toronto area?

snofox · 02-24-2009, 12:37 PM

Even in little old Fredericton, New Brunswick (pop around 50,000), the local camera shop (Harvey's) has all three Pentaxes in stock with an array of 3 Pentax lenses (as possible kits) for each. You can play all day with them if you like. I bet in Toronto you can lay your hands on any Pentax model/lens combination you want.

They have good prices and you don't pay any taxes. If you buy from Henry's you'd have to pay PST plus GST, about 13% total. Then somehow you can get the GST, or 5% of it back but probably it's a hassle.

Just picked up a Lowepro Slingshot 100 AW Bag from prodigital2000. Purchase concluded on feb 20th, got the bag today (in Toronto). Really fast shipping, very happy, and I would recommend them to anybody. This is my second purchase from them and I'll look there first once I've made up my mind to purchase something.

Smarter...and handsomer to boot.
