Yes it is now but when the stock was ordered it was not very good. We are paying at the ordered costings ( exchange rate ) not the current rate.Swings and roundabouts.

Now you may have burst my bubble, Damien - if it turns out that if I had waited a couple of months to buy my Metz M400 flash, flash diffusor, and Hahnel 6 piece camera cleaning kit (all bought just last week) I might have saved 10 or 15%.

Well here we are...10% until 6th September. Not 15%, but better than a slap in the face with a dead fish. Applies to Ricoh as well this time.

'SUPERDAD' is the code.

I just bought a new Imac (equivalent to 2.5 "pentax units").... so nothing else for me this year.... unless I get foolhardy brave.

Strange 'sale' this SUPERDAD one - probably only about 20% of the lenses, for example, are listed as in stock.

You can still add the out of stock ones at the sale prices, or at least that's the way it has been in past sales.

Yes, 'tis the way of CRK with Pentax gear. Stock very little unless it's a high turnover item.

You can backorder most anything with a discount. Unfortunately it means you may wait a month or three for your item.

On the plus side, it keeps costs down, and you and I get some of the best prices anywhere for some of this stuff. Just costs us a bit extra in patience (and I'll be the first to admit that I don't find it that easy sometimes).

If I remember correctly, unfortunately your credit card also gets billed up front too.

Indeed it does. That is also not so great.

Hmm, I've seen this too. Could do with the 150-450 for my birding but then I'm waiting for K-New. Can't do both.... unfortunately.

Inidentally, DCXpert eBay store is participating in the current 21% off event. Handy if there's something there you're after (limited selection).

I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere. Is there a coupon for that? What dates?

PARTY21, though looks to be eBay Plus members only (though if you're not, you may be able to sign up for a trial if there's something you want). Ends 12/9.

Note that the searching via the PARTY21 promo links doesn't seem to work - if I look for Pentax I find very little. If I use the DCX store to search, then I get much more, and it all seems to work with the coupon (for now at least). Still wasn't anything I needed to buy. Tempted by the 43mm though.

calebarchie · 11-10-2020, 11:53 PM

Any pentax deals going in Australia? Wanted to pick a KP for xmas, Georges just sold their last one for 1K. Otherwise completely out of stock here including CRK. Pretty piss poor given the timing...
