according to the B&H page it will be INR 50,112.00 + Shipping via international courier
sunnyswamy,
In this case, shipping would be some 70-100 dollars + customs (30-50% of price) in India.

Hi,

I was a long time user of K10D and film camera and moved to Nikon due to unavailability of lens and service centres in India.
Now just i have sold out my Nikon camera with lenses. Few more lenses are remaining to be sold.

Planning to get back to pentax again.

Any idea on the place where you can buy Pentax Camera in Mumbai / Navi mumbai. Also any cost ideas of Pentax K3. Noticed that in amazon its 71000/- for body which is quite costly compared to US pricing.

Thanks
Sriram

The Penax/Ricoh dealers are based out of Mumbai. You can drop a note to them and their pricing will definitely be very less when compared with amazon. Contact those mail IDs, I send you as PM.

haha sudhakar nice to see your Msg after long time.
I am still missing the ergonomics and build of pentax in other camera of same equivalent.
Right from changing the lens to controls, I was in love with my k10d. Not so happy with d7000 and hence sold it just now. Also I ended up having many of lens with fungus in my nikon kit and I feel that the pentax build is much more superior compared to this. I am a guy who do not like to keep my kit always hidden inside some covers and bags. Pentax to some extent suits my use.

Glad to know about your decision (first GF as per NTRao:-)). K1 seems impressive for sports/birds as compared to current line up; but I will wait for actual reviews considering full frame coupled with existing APS lenses. As per the reviews K3 is still a better choice. When I trust a brand, I would less importance (relatively) to brand ( hey thats mee....). For the same reason, I got my K5 from US as I know I will handle it properly. If I were you, would get K3 from US if anybody is coming. Alternatively you can scout in this forum (buy & sell section) or KEH.com.

Good luck.

Quick note - Purchased a Pentax K3 through my sis in kuwait. They had this electronics sale for feb 28-29th and i was shocked to get pentax K3 for KWD 120.
Immediately asked my sis to check and purchase the same. Should be there with me within next two months when she is coming down to India by end march.


Now my old Nikon 80-200 and Tamron 200-500 (Nikon mount) lens should provide me some finance for buying new pentax lens in few months.!

Can you ask sister to bring one for me, also. I will pay. Seriously, DSLRs in Kuwait are dead cheap, because of no import duties. I am not sure, any tax relief was given for electronics import in today's budget. If there is a raise, I will start smuggling cameras/lenses into India, through sea from Kuwait.. ;-)

ntrao-
I was lucky that i grabbed the last piece of the K3. In infact missed out on the FA 50mm 1.4 which was offered for 29 KD (INR 6600/-). stocks did not last when she reached the shop in the evening.

Even a K3II works ;-)

Bad news is, DSLRs import into the country is going to be more expensive as per today's budget. Very discouraging, unless Pentax setup a plant in India. #MakeInIndia
