Hi guys and girls,
Completley new to all this, only ever had a compact, but being a bit of a gadget freak, I naturally wanted an SLR! After much derliberation I decided to settle on the K7 and I know its a hugh jump from a compact to the K7, but hey got a bonus from work so thought i'd treat myself!! Look if you cant treat yourself what can you do I ask!!!
So I started looking for one last weekend on the internet, so why is that in the UK we are completley riped off! Why is everyone selling at the RRP? Do Pentax UK tell people what price to sell at, cause I thought that was illegal!!
Anyway I carry on looking and low and behold I come across a bargain! Yes I said bargain! I found a K7 with 18-55mm & 50-200mm WR Lenses for only £1175! Yes i said £1175! Everywhere else is about £1300 so naturally I was dubious, I was thinking for it to be that cheap it must of been from Hong Kong or somewhere over there. So time to do some digging I thought, so I went to this new Pentax Legends website, which is Pentax Legends - Over 50 Years Of SLR Photography and found out that this company is a Pentax Pro Centre!!!
So I called them and they said they had them in stock and said they were at that price! So on Wednesday I reluctantley gave them my credit card details and waited with anticipation. How happy was I when Mr Parcel Force knocked on my door on Thursday with a parcel for me.
So ripped it open and guess what, exactley what they told me, a brand spanking new K7 twin lens kit.
Why cant all companies be like this in the UK sell what they want for what they want!!!
If you wanna have alook follow this link:Binoculars UK Ltd. Pentax K-7
Morrall of the story is shope around there are some bargains out there!!!:D
