Did anyone hear (or read) anything about the possibility for Pentax coming to India? Richoh as a company is present in India today, sadly not officially with their digital cameras. While the rest of the world are waiting for Full Frames or complaining about yellow cameras without VF, we have to look through flea markets to find 30 year old lenses or buy overpriced lenses on the black market without warranty
So, has there been any official comment on when (or IF) Pentax Richoh Imaging Corp is coming to India? After all, about 17% of the worlds population live in this country and in the last ten years, the potential customer base has grown buy 2/3 of the American population. If nothing, perhaps Pentax Forums can start a petition on this topic as well as the FF?

Petitions were sent in the past. The problem is Pentax is pretty busy trying to save itself on a day to day existence basis having lost out to the Canikons in volume. They are not able to spread their wings into many parts of the world, including India, as survival means looking out constantly for partners - whether Hoya and now Ricoh. The product is pretty good, but a weak lens line. And delay in a Full Frame system is keeping prosumers away. Then recent manufacturing problems have plagued some of their products on quality and mean time between failure.
In 2009, I saw film SLR lenses at throw away prices in the Bay Area, California. I picked up some old primes for $ 10 to 20. Even if you look up KEH com you can find kit zooms in excellent condition for $ 30. A Pentax AF 100-300 for $ 70.

India distributor is there
