There's a couple of guys at the Downtown Henry's willing to push Pentax, and they're the only store stocking more than the basic stuff (18-55's, AF360's, 50-200's). They've got pretty much every DA and D-FA lens on the shelf right now (I think they're missing the 40) and even some FA and FA J stuff.
It's too bad their used section sucks so badly. A couple interesting A zooms and then a bunch of 50/2's and cheap kit AF zooms. All the interesting stuff goes to ebay. -Adam David J Brooks wrote: > Thats good to hear. > > I think Henry's is more of a Canon/Nikon pusher.
