I'm in downeast Maine and there are no camera stores around here, period. There are several in southern Maine that I like to deal with but I often have to resort to mail ordering from the biggies. In January 2005 I contacted Classic Camera in Biddeford Maine to inquire about ordering an MZ-S through him. He said no way, his wholesale price from Pentax would be more than Adorama's retail price online. So, I took his advice and ordered it from Adorama. MISTER Keppler makes a good point about buying a camera by mail order - http://keppler.popphoto.com/blog/2006/08/a_glorious_view.html#more Without actually handling the camera you are really buying one blind. -- Steve Sharpe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://earth.delith.com/photo_gallery.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
