I think Pentax USA are trying to pull the same stunt Nikon USA have been pulling for the last couple of years. That is, denying service, even out of warranty, to owners of gear which cannot be proven to have been supplied "USA". It's true. In theory, to be eligible to receive warranty service on your in guarantee piece of kit, you need to supply the warranty card (stamped by an "official dealer"), and possibly also your receipt in cases where the equipment has been on sale for more than one year. There are myriad variations possible here. Kind regards Peter - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
