I've brought him a lot of business and repeat business from friends and co-workers. He gave me a really good discount on the *ist D and worked very hard to get it for me before I could buy it online or in other stores (actually, he got it from the local Pentax rep who was going to use it as a demo but never took it out of the box). This time around he was not interested in giving me a discount because he is doing well selling Canons at his regular price. Fine with me. He has a great selection of used lenses too and I spend my money on those. Christian
