I just sent back my second K-3II to B&H. I didn't even open the second one because the invoice indicated a serial number within the "defective" lot. I can't believe they would send that out. Anyway, even if it did work okay I didn't want to spend the next year wondering if it would start acting up. I will get a refund and then buy another one. B&H site says they are getting new ones so I might buy from them again. Has anyone purchased one from Adorama? I'm wondering who has "good" stock.
I asked Adorama and they claim they have no way of knowing if their stock contains the suspect numbers. B&H suspended sales for awhile about a week ago. When they resumed I think most of us thought they had solved the issue. Henryp who speaks for B&H on PF says their stock is clean now. I would not trust Adorama because it appears they have done nothing about the advisory. I asked one of the dealers on Amazon who is a Pentax dealer and they said that their stock still contains cameras under the advisory number. Buyer beware but the cameras are often just fine.
