I am moving to Nepal for an extended period of time. I know I am in a pentax forum but I will ask anyway. Although I assume it is slim that there is much of any digital photography equipment in Nepal, I know there is a little. Do you think there will be many Pentax compatible lenses or equipment or do you think it will be all Nikon/Canon. I hate to say it but I am guessing if there is anything, it would be the big two. Some guy in a camera store was telling me once that there were a lot lenses around south asia because of russian or chinese made lenses that weren't pentax but fit the mount correctly, but I am not sure he knew what he was talking about.

Any thoughts?
