Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1consumers
FWIW - I've had no issues with them on the several times I've used them. Kenneth Waller http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/kennethwaller - Original Message - From: "Gonz" <rgonzoma...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1consumers I had a bad experience with Precision but I never posted anything negative about them. I was never able to get the issue solved as their response to my emails was non-existent. I guess that's how they deal with "problem" customers: ignore them.

For $550, I might wait a bit (especially many have negative experience with Precision Camera?) I bet many more have had great experience with them. It's just that the internet has given voice to disgruntled people with nothing to say. Definitely. Precision did a repair and overhaul on my FA*80-200/2.8 (a famously complex and difficult-to-disassemble lens) for far less money than I expected and did a superb job. Turned it around fairly quickly, too. The problem with internet reporting is that the people who feel they have been treated poorly make noise far in excess of their numbers. I notice this on the Titan Diesel forums where you would think that these trucks can't make it across town without breaking down, and apparently they are far better than the Rams, Fords and GMCs, which can barely get off the driveway without a trip to the mechanic. I'm sure that Precision has had it's fair share of failures, but I am fairly certain that the numbers are not horribly skewed towards failures, no matter what the internet brayers would have us think. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1consumers
Saw a post on a Europe FB page, Ricoh offer K5II, K3, K3II, K-70 trade in for K1II (The one I remember is K5II trade in value is $250). K3 and K3II have higher trade in value. I think, maybe with this move, they indicate there will be no more 'flag-ship"/"high-end" APSC camera ...

Re: Ricoh announces an upgrade service for current PENTAX K-1consumers
Seems like a gimmick to me, like they are trying to soften the blow of the upgrade basically being much ado about nothing. I'll wait for the real K2 or whatever its going to be called.

Ricoh could impress the photographic world even more by also offering K5=>K5ii and K3=>K3ii upgrades while they're about it!
