Change in Pentax Distributorship ?

[hjbyeo]

The service center should be at Peninsula Plaza but the technician will base at Kallang Pudding Road.

:bigeyes: That's even closer to where I live/stay!

:sweat: ... let's just see how it pans out ...

I went to meet my client and popped in to check the premises of MJ (EMJAY) as I was a Peninsula Plaza.

Boy was I underwhelmed... turned out it was just a simple two unit trading company just like what you'd find at High Street Centre.
Just a couple of tables with some folks on the phone. Unit was tucked away in the corner near the escalator opposite Albert Photo.
Hopefully they can take the trouble to do up a Pentax display and a proper reception area looking forward. :bigeyes:

A little OT.

I'm actually a reviewer of tech products (can't reveal too much). So far, my attempts to contact MJ for Optio and K review sets have been rebuffed.

After hearing this description of the place, I now understand why. I know this outfit probably has little marketing moolah given these hard times, but at the moment I'd say they aren't doing the Pentax name any good at all.

Come on, they are not even officially Pentax agent yet Don't think they even got one Pentax camera. Give them some time and see how.

If you wanna review Optio, I got a nice Optio S, the first Optio DC. You wanna review it? But it's a 6 year old camera, don't think anyone would be interested

As to K, I've got more than 10 Pentax K film cameras all the way from KX/MX to the late MZ-6, don't mind passing you a K1000 or SuperProgram for a quick review :bsmilie:










Just kidding. Good luck w/ your reviews.

Haha. Well, as a Pentaxian myself, I can('t) be impartial, now can I?

Seriously, might actually take up that offer if we do a feature on old cameras. But that's probably something too far off our publication's focus for now...

Sounds great. I'm sure quite some guys still enjoy shooting film. I don't mind sharing some of my experiences if you guys like it. Free of charge of course

how about a circa 1978 lens vs a current lens feature?

Would love to do one of those...

But as I mentioned earlier, our focus is now more towards the mainstream gadgets and tech. We're trying to ramp up on photography, but it'll be a while.

We did have a separate publication a while back dedicated only to photography, but it's now closed. (If that gives you a clue whom I write for, good but for the sake of impartiality I will not confirm nor deny any guesses. )

Looking forward to new agent and service centre soon.... I have to send my 3 problems - my K20d for cleaning dust in viewfinder, fixing my loose tilt of 540GZ flash and FA 50mm f1.4 problem. :cry::cry:

Hi Woonsin
I don't think they will simply stop supporting now and ask you to wait till the handover is done. Why not just give Kelvin a call and see if he can help? I believe the support transfer should be seamless.

CBD and parking at Peninsula are :thumbsd:

Take the MRT lah!

Or park at Adephi after 5pm for per entry, shops in town dun close at 5.

 

[zoren]
