Hi Morten... So what brings you to Puddletown?
I'll second Jim's suggestion: Citizens is probably the best place for Pentax shopping in this area. The staff is usually helpful and friendly. I say "usually" because they're far more human than the drones at Ritz Camera - some days it seems like the guys need an extra cup of coffee, or maybe something stronger. :) <http://www.citizensphoto.com/> They have a modest selection of bodies and lenses - don't go expecting to have an experience like "B&H". I'd definitely recommend it if you're shooting any film while in Portlant: it's the only place I trust with my 120 film for processing after a day lugging the 6x7 around town, and believe me, there aren't a lot of options anymore. Pro Photo Supply also stocks some Pentax, but I think it's a recent move (since the release of the K10D) which is good to see. I don't have a lot of experience with them as I usually go to Citizens. <http://www.prophotosupply.com/> Both shops stock some used gear, too, if you're interested in that. However, if vintage equipment is really your cup of tea, then you should head on over to Blue Moon Camera: <http://www.bluemooncamera.com/> Finally, if none of those suggestions will whet your appetite, Seattle is only 2.5 hrs away. There must be some good shops in that area? Anyone? Tim From Vancouver (not BC), Washington (not DC) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Citizens Photo in Portland might be able to help.
