Adam, I read your first post which did make it to the list and apologise for this late answer.
Although I do live far from Berlin, at least I share one thing with you: my brother lives in Berlin, too :-) Well, he's definitely no photog, so no use for you. But I know two shops at least from their website, and I had telephone contact with this one: http://www.foto-hess.de/ They list Pentax DSLRs, so they should be able to sell you some Pentax glass, I suppose. At least they list two second hand pentax AF lenses right now (not 18-55). Second shop is http://www.wuestefeld.com/index.html but I do not know if they sell any Pentax gear. Oh, they do, I just see: they appear on Pentax Germany's dealer list (as well as the above-mentioned Foto Hess). (http://www.pentax.de/_de/photo/haendler/index.php?search_city=berlin&Submit=Suchen&ops=1&search_division=photo&search_country=de) Avoid anything that sounds like Media Markt or Saturn. Good luck, and have a nice time in Berlin!
