Pentax Australia 15% sale
Posted By: Paul the Sunman, 03-31-2021, 03:40 PM

There is a (surprise?) 15% sale on the Pentax Australia web site at the moment. No K3iii even listed at this stage unfortunately.

Offer valid Thursday 1 April until Monday 5 April 2021.
No coupon codes required. Discounts already applied.
*Excludes RICOH branded products.


Most items are out of stock, but they still honour the sale prices on backorders.

Which lens? Something to match with the K3iii? The DA* 11-18 is attractive, but I don't really NEED it; happy with the DA 15 on APS-C. Otherwise, I'm pretty well set up for crop shooting.
I wanted to get so many when I saw the discount price alas rationality is the approach to take and find the best option is what I went with. I thought the D-FA* 85 was the one to go with as it's a lot of coin with the discount and whilst I want to throw my hard earned towards Ricoh/Pentax I've found that >$3k for a prime was more than I'd want to spend. So for me it was take it or maybe give up on this one altogether.


The annoying thing is finding out now that the K-3 III is now searchable and if I'd have know that earlier I'd be saying me too for one of those kits. Will have to see about that as that's a similarly big expense and if they honour that 15% how cool will that be.

Some icing on top for me is the two weeks off I have planned last week of April, first week of May. If I can pick up a Mk 3 that means having a new toy and the chance to actually use it. Mind you, the 85 is already in the mail so if I don't get to line up the Mk 3 then I will have a new toy to use anyway.

yes... and a second battery (I think)


I can't seem to find them now on their website.... getting the feeling they were not meant to be part of the 15% sale....
They do say it's a sitewide sale.

Use the search function. K-3 iii (with a space) worked for me.
Many thanks,

Well done. I'm afraid I'm out of this one this time around. Still got to pay for the 16 - 85 and the trip to Tassie.

There's always next time but until then I shall enjoy the K-3iii vicariously through the lucky PF members who get one.

A bargain to be had on the DA 18-135.
If you buy it attached to a K-50 it's $550, but if you buy it on it's own, $713 (scratches head)

Yes, by international standards it's a very competitive price.
Cheapest in the world at the moment, I think.

Was counting on you to be #1 Sandy. Glad you haven't let us down, even without early adopter premium. ;-)

Interesting comparison on the international prices. When the 15% sale ends, list price for the K-3iii body only will be $A2800 (incl. GST) - cheaper than Europe (€1999 = $3100) or UK (£1899 = $3450), and only slightly more than the US ($US1999 = $A2650) where sales tax is not added by default.

Seems to be gone now from both the Pentax and CRK sites. I tried all combinations of K3 K-3 iii, K3iii etc and...........nothing. Looks like the lucky ones who got in early have cleared out the allocation. That's a bummer because I was starting to think about pulling the pin on the body at $2300ish and worry about explaining it later.

I hope this official announcement doesn't mean the remarkably cheap pre-orders done today were an April Fools' joke.

If CRK doesn't honour them, I'll be pretty upset....

There would probably be a class action. Seriously, it would be some pretty bad PR if they didn't honour the prices.

Actually, I was prompted by a tip-off in one of the K-3 iii discussion threads, so perhaps I'm number two
