I would call both Henry's head office and Pentax Canada and let them know about your poor treatment, and also that your growing digital event photography business will not be spending any more money at Henry's NM. That's the only way to get through to idiots like that. He can certainly have his preferences, but to be openly disdainful of a paying customer's gear is just plain rude. I had a customer who saw my LX and went on and on about how crappy the LX was and how he sold all his Pentax gear because it wasn't sharp at all, because he had made 30x40 prints of some macro shots of diamonds and they were out of focus. I asked if he had used the mirror lock, and he said, "The what?" I asked if he was using a tripod, and he said, "No, why would I?" I told him that I was of the opinion that bad technique was to blame. He said, "No way, it was that garbage Pentax lens." I asked him what his sharpest lens was, and he said it was his Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8. I issued him a challenge -- I told him to bring his gear, and we'd put it up against my LX and my A* 200mm f2.8, and if his was noticeably sharper at 30x40, I'd give him his printing for free. Also I'd supply the materials. He said he would, but that was nearly a year ago, and both times I've seen him since then he hasn't mentioned it. -Aaron p.s. his 645 stuff was out of focus at 20x30, too. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
