Last week I saw a shop near me with a K-01 AND a Q. Also saw a K-r in another shop. Would have fell off my chair if I hadn't already been standing. Never seen any lenses other than the 18-55, though.
Maybe the 'price fixing' in the US is helping things here.
They have had Pentax for a long time. It's a local shop that didn't go with the flow when the digital age came and Pentax bottomed out. I honestly didn't know they were a big Pentax shop until maybe 2 years ago when I randomly visited their shop.
I do think the policies Pentax implemented will help them a bit, however they sell a number of brands. They even have the Fuji x100 and such.
Originally posted by JimJohnson I see your location as Wisconsin - where in Wisconsin is this camera store? I find myself crossing Wisconsin here and there; maybe I can plan a drooling stop for me on the next trip?
From your northern neighbor - Michigan's Upper Peninsula...
It's in Rockford Illinois (north west of Chicago).

Most of them are Pentax shooters. They would probably be the last shop in the USA to stop selling Pentax.
