London Drugs has some amazing deals on "display model" lenses. Online only I think, but they ship to store.

smc DA 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6mm ED AL[IF] DC WR for $99 (wow!)

https://www.londondrugs.com/pentax-smc-da-18-135mm-f%2F3.5-5.6mm-ed-alif-dc-.../L4638391.html

DA L 50-200 WR for $179

https://www.londondrugs.com/pentax-da-l-50-200-wr-lens---22297---open-box%2F.../L7857519.html

I grabbed up a HD DA 55-300mm for $199 a couple of weeks ago(sold out I think) and just picked up the 18-135 today. Both lenses are immaculate, I don't think they ever left their boxes.

Too bad they don't ship to the USA

Wow, I just ordered an 18-135 for $100 CAD. I don't currently have any WR glass so this one is it. What a steal.

Pentax AF 540FGZ Flash with Case - Open Box/Display Models Only

Got the older P-TTL & TTL model flash for only $99.99 CDN ($73USD), with in store pickup at no charge! (Five minute drive)

Perfect for my MZ-S and 67II. Looks like I got the only one for sale...

Phil.

I know it's not Pentax, but I ordered a Panasonic DMC-GM1 with 12-32 lens for $299.99 CAD. I had been thinking for some time about buying a GR lll, but this came along and it was too good to pass up. The size is almost identical to the GR lll. Plus having ICL was a bonus. The kit lens 12-32 got rave reviews, so what is not to like?

yes, I'm getting old. The days of lugging around gear are behind me. Let me take out one of my film bodies, and a lens or maybe two, plus a light weight digital P&S and that is all I want.

BTW, I don't know if anyone noticed, but they have the 16-45 for a song. https://www.londondrugs.com/pentax-da-16-45mm-f4-ed-al-lens---21507---open-b...earance-camera No SDM problems, and arguably as good image quality as the 16-50.

Nice, thank you. I decided to grab an 18-135 to go with my K3. I expect I will give it to my granddaughter, who has taken an interest in photography since the lock-down started.

All pentax gear now seems out of stock... too bad I just saw your post (but good thing for my wallet

Haha, everything sure seemed to go very quickly once I posted the links!

**gofour3** · 07-28-2020, 06:28 PM

Picked up my AF-540FGZ flash today from my neighbourhood London Drugs and everything was included as if it was brand new. The box was a bit battered, but the flash works with no issues. The weird thing is the flash is from the Hoya days, circa 2008 and it's strange London Drugs kept the flash for 12 years before clearing it out...

Happy camper!

Phil.

My 18-135 showed up in the mailbox today. Looks to be in perfect new condition. Not a mark on it or the mount. It doesn't look like it was ever mounted on a camera. Works perfectly - well as perfectly as this lens does. A little soft on the edges and corners, but otherwise perfect.

Mine too. I think my copy might be new in box, not a demo.
