So Pentax USA has outsourced its service too, then. They did the same
in Europe, to a sorry effect so far.

FYI:
From Earth Times:
"GOLDEN, Colo. - (Business Wire) PENTAX Imaging Company, an
innovator in the
production of digital SLR and compact cameras, lenses, flash units,
binoculars, scopes, and eyepieces, announced today that Camera Repair
Instrument Service (CRIS), a leading provider of camera repair and
imaging
device maintenance, will partner with PENTAX to provide factory
repair
service for the PENTAX brand cameras and sport optics consumer
products. In
this agreement, CRIS will act as the "factory service facility" for
dealers,
and consumers in the United States. "

"About CRIS
Camera Repair Instrument Service (CRIS) is one of the top photographic
and digital imaging equipment repair facilities in the United States.
The company started in 1984 as the exclusive U.S. distributor for
Kyoritsu Electric Co., a Japanese manufacturer of precision camera
test and calibration equipment. CRIS provides repair for camera
manufacturers including Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Ricoh, Sigma, Fuji,
Olympus, Sony, Kodak, Casio, and Panasonic. Located in Chandler,
Arizona, CRIS is also the exclusive North American camera service
center for Ricoh Corporation."
I hope they realize that people who live in the mountains of Colorado
(Pentax experienced repairpersons) will not look forward to working in
Chandler, Arizona, outside of Phoenix. It does not bode well for us
USA Pentaxians. Wait and see.
