Pentax Luna New Year Promotion - K-7 for $13xx, Twin WR Kit Lenses for $439SGD!

Would any of you know if the price of K7 is dropping in other international markets too at present? If this isn't happening, then Fengwei's assumption that Emjay will bounce the price of the K7 back up after CNY sounds logical.

It's listed at US$1030 on Amazon, which means our price is quite a bit cheaper than Amazon... so... better be quick, guys
 

One month after I bought the k-x... now Im tempted :(
 

Okay, just called a couple of shops, the deal on the twin WR kit lenses is confirmed. It's available for all new or existing K7 buyers. If you don't have a K7 camera but still want the deal, you probably can ask some other K7 owner and see if he/she wants to help you ;)

For now, most shops only got one set. So if you wanna have the lenses now, better act quickly :D More stock will come in soon.

And as I said before, this is PROMOTION deal, and it's only valid before the CNY. After that, well, I don't know what's gonna happen.

Still remember last year when Emjay took over Pentax from Shriro, they lowered the prices for most lenses. Some guys hesitated, then missed the chance. Now you have to pay alot more to buy the lenses you want.

This is a great opportunity for us to have those twin kit lenses at the best price around the world, and this goes to the K7 too. Where else can you buy K7 at this price w/ valid 1 year manufacturer warranty? Not even from the US, China ...

confrmed below 450 for the lens???
 

This is very tempting! I will definitely get the 50-200mm WR but do you think if its worthwhile if I get the twin kit? Because I have the 18-55mm AL (the plastic mount) kit lens from my KX which I only used once as I prefer my FA35.

I am not sure if the 18-55mm WR is optically better than the 18-55mm AL to justify the upgrade? If it is about the same optically, then I might not get the 18-55mm WR since I don't use my 18-55mm AL now also.. And as my KX is not WR, is there any benefits in having a WR lens?

The DA1855 and 50200 WR twin kits together will be available (in 10 days) for less than $450. I'm getting one set that's for sure :)

There are something better about the WR 1855 over the DA L 1855:

1. weather resistant
2. better built quality w/ metal mount
3. comes w/ a hood
4. quick shift

Let's say, if you buy the 50200WR alone, it'd be $289. But if you buy two together, it's $439. Means you only pay $150 extra for the WR kit. That's the best price you'd ever be able to find.


I myself only need the 50200WR, but I probably will get both together 'cause it's a better deal when buying in bundle :)
 

Bro, but will having a WR lens on my KX helps? Coz my KX not WR...

You'd probably want to bring it along to test the lens first before buying anyway...

It's meant to promote K7, that's why you need to have a K7 camera to have that price ;)

As far as I know, the promotion price is only available at the following shops :

1. Alan Photo Trading (Funan)

2. Bally Photo Electronics Pte Ltd

3. Cathay Photo Store (Pte) Ltd

4. Manly Departmental Store

5. MS Color Service

6. Orient Photo Pte Ltd

7. TK Photo Technic Pte Ltd


If you guys wanna verify the promotion price, better call Emjay and see how ;) I heard the stock will be in very soon.
 

I am interested only in the 18-55WR. So if anyone buys the twin lenses set and wants to get rid of the kit lens, please let me know. I am sure we can work something out so that both of us benefits.
 

Haha I definitely not WR, guess have to upgrade my own body 1st..:bsmilie:
