Pentax Canada? Anyone? As far as I know, the black limited lenses are not officially available in Canada. I'll check with Don's tomorrow. I got my black limiteds from Kerrisdale Camera in Vancouver. I believe they imported them from outside the PCI food chain. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
