I was in at C R Kennedy today and asked them about this. C.R. Kennedy
will honour any Australian or international warranty on Pentax equipment
which is correctly filled in by the place of purchase. Buyers should
check this on all purchases, not just cameras.
You really can't argue with that and given the pricing of Pentax gear in
Australia it's generally not worth the bother to buy from overseas. I
know some of the better lenses are hard to get, but I've always found
them helpful - to the point where they fixed my out of warranty *istD
that was broken by another company, not only free of charge, but overnight.
