Whoa - mine also, and I'm on the west coast. I expected the 3-hour lag to make it wait a day.

K-5 II with 18-135 at $799 + 50/1.8 add on for $119 is a steal.
Now look at my sad face cause I live in Australia

You can still get it at B&H, but how much is shipping + customs?

Yeah - I am in Australia and still planning to order it! Cant beat that price... Shipping is only $55 extra and customs is zero because its under $1k.

Pity the exchange rate has crashed - if only it was 6 months ago!

ybo1 · 11-28-2013, 08:07 PM

Ah! Couldn't resist the deal. Ordered from Quebec...Hope Pentax Canada honors international warranty ( actually hope I won't need it...).

Hey Adam, I ordered by clicking through the link you provided while being signed in to PF. Is that enough to qualify for free Marketplace access?

Thanks!

freerider · 11-28-2013, 08:27 PM

The K-5ii + 18-135mm combo is now discontinued. They might be sold out.

azrickster · 11-28-2013, 08:30 PM

I ordered mine from adorama because they had a combo with Lightroom 5 for 79.99. They don't even list it anymore for a couple hours now so I guess they are sold out too.

Gave it some consideration as well, but once you factor in exchange rate + no warranty, decided against the order.

This would have been perfect if the AUD was still above parity.

samysarena · 11-28-2013, 09:34 PM

I missed the $799 KII with 18-135 lens. It shows discontinued now. Is there any way I could get one. Any chances B&H would stock it again?

Yes, you should qualify for a free month of access with this order. PM me your order number once it ships. Congrats on the purchase!

Upsets me too. The last several things I've sold on the marketplace were to Australians with a lot of cash to spend.

arkham · 11-29-2013, 05:10 AM

FYI - The 18-135 kit shows as back in stock at the moment.

My order shipped yesterday. Wife's K-7 getting replaced for Christmas.

nvarner · 11-29-2013, 07:48 AM

Hi Adam! I ordered the body-only about 5 mins after you posted the link, from my iPhone ; I was over a friend's hanging out. Lmbo I said if the body went under $600 , I wouldn't think I'd just buy and sneak it into the house when it arrives. It's just a great deal; I had to give up my babied D90,3rd party grip, nikkor 18-105vr, 2 nikon batteries, 2 3rd party batteries, nikkor 18-55 and $650 to KEH just to get a discounted D7100 kit about 4 months ago! I love my D7100 but with the grip and all that other stuff on it , it gets heavy and I'm a woman . Additionally, CrossFit and I have managed to get me a rotator cuff injury so D7100 only comes out for studio type work, not travel or walk-about plus to be completely honest I think my K-30 may be weather-sealed better than my d7100 so I'm really excited about the K-5ii.
Let me know if I need to send you my order number as I'd like to insure you receive credit for the order. Thx
Now, what do I do with my K-30? Suggestions :-)

BeerCan · 11-29-2013, 08:38 AM

Nice. Mine has now gone to shipping, super happy to have a new camera. I can already feel that LBA you get when you get a new body.

WooKstah · 11-29-2013, 08:59 AM

This probably isn't the best place to ask, but is the 18-135 really worth the extra $200? I've already got the lengths covered between the Tamron 10-24 & 28-75, and the Sigma 50-150 so I never really thought twice about it ... and honestly, 90% of the time the 28-75 is my go-to lens.
