Right... But actually, the Canon and Nikon prices seem to be comparable
to the ones in this country (Norway), but like I said, it isn't exactly
known as the cheapest place place on the planet. The price on electronic
equipment isn't necessarily *that* high, though...
Importing implies 50% of extra
taxes when it arrives here.
Urgh. I'd expect to pay 25% in the same situation. I thought this was
much, but...
So I end paying the same.
The local Pentax importer sucks,
Yup. I suppose that's your problem...
and they only get DL
body, and no kit.
I want kit in order to get wide ange coverage. My
budget is tight, really tight, so I'm trying to
convert this fallen from sky money (usd 1000) into a
DSLR.
May be you should consider parting with the K50? I think f/1.2 lenses
tend to fetch quite a lot on places like eBay. And I've seen people on
this list suggest that this lens isn't really much better than the other
Pentax 50s (although it's heavier and more expensive.)
I'll use it for paid jobs, so I want a versatile
machine. The DL seems very cramped when compared to
DS, in viewfinder, AF, etc...
I don't know...
I've actually been wondering myself if you really need all those extra AF
sensors, but I suppose it depends on what jobs exactly you are doing. I've also
tried finders that are possibly similar on film bodies, and I don't think they
were that much worse than ones using real glass. But I really don't know,
either. If I have ever seen a DL, it was only through the window of a shop, if
you know what I mean...
