They seem to be getting less precise in their announcements. Remember the spring announcement of the new 360 and 540 flashes? Followed up in August with an "available in September" notice? The Ricoh site has them available for preorder. The B&H site has them available for preorder. The Adorama site has them available now. I didn't believe Adorama, called, pushed for verification that they had them in stock. Finally got an admission that they don't have them in yet, are expecting availability maybe in October. I don't know if it is a production or a supply-chain issue, but I preferred it when an "available in x month" notice was usually accurate. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
