Thanks Wizofoz! I went to Kirks this afternoon and grabbed one, after I canceled my pre-order from Ted's at Knox - they told me ETA time of June...
Paul at KirKs told me that now only one unit left in his store. So be quick!

I received a message from Pentax Australia asking my pre-order number...I think they are starting to dispatch K-1!.
Unfortunately I didn't order from them. I order from Ted's and no news from them yet.

This is reply I got from Pentax Australia Facebook page 20 min ago: "At this stage we are waiting for shipment to land - the pre-ordered units are the priority and will be shipped chronologically from first order"
At least the messages from CRK/Pentax Aus are consistent today...

Great! did the DCW guys say anything about the delivery time?
I placed my order in person last week at Ted's in Knox shopping center. They had no clue when they can get the K-1 - the computer says 'early April'

Yes I know...but what can I do? Australia is such a small market and monopoly is a norm.

CRK's price hike becomes the last straw to destroy my resistance...... I went to Ted's Store in Knox this arvo and pre-ordered the K-1 at $2799.

Thanks Clackers. I'll have a search and let you know!
the picture you posted is very nice, but is it by a Pentax APSC camera?

Thanks for the info and your advice, rawr. I'll probably try the 28-75 with K-1 before I make a decision wheather to buy a DFA 24-70, which means I'll buy a K-1 first.

Thanks! I don't remember where I saw it but somebody posted sample photos showing dark corners from DA50 1.8 on a full frame camera.

Thanks!
I have a DA 50 f1.8. Not sure it covers full frame. I also have a Tamron 28-75, but I found it's not sharp on my K5 and K3.
I'd really like a quality zoom lens in 24-70 range....maybe 28-105 will be sharp enough. We'll see.

Hi all,
I'm thinking to buy a D FA 24-70 lens first for my K-3, before I buy a K-1 later this year, or next version maybe. It's just too big cost to buy both K-1 and this lens together (~A$4800). Maybe when the heat is over I can get better price for K-1, and with 28-105 lens combo.
I found the cheapest online price for D FA 24-70 lens is A$1999 from Pentax Australia web shop, which is not much more than US price of US$1296.
Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated!
David

Great! Thanks to the fellows who called CRK and/or left messages on CRK Facebook page. Apparently they have heard our complaints, and responded rightly. Good on them too.

Its really disappointing that CR Kennedy sets such a crazy price for K1!
USD1800 +10% GST would only get ~AUD2828, at 0.70 exchange rate...
