Bro.. I understand your point lah. In fact, I can jump ship just few months ago when I sold away few of my equipments, but then I still like Minolta camera best (stubborn huh.. :bsmilie: ), so I bought some new ones in (you know lah
)(Don/Sulhan : May be we can organise group purchase from B&H or adorama for small accessories regularly? kekeke)
Over the years, I'm have been less relying on local dealers for supply, I got many of my accessories from overseas online store or friends. May be it helps me to think twice before wasting money on unnecessary stuffs.. :bsmilie:
KM is far from dying, after K merge with M, we see more marketing activity now (Pentax?). KM name is everywhere on the road. With recent Sony alliance, we will probably see more Minolta mount bodies and lenses in the market, be it labelled as "Sony" or "Konica Minolta".
Sony won't be so dumb to choose a dying brand as investment partner, isn't it?
I see the purpose of this petition is to give KM SG a wake up call. I hope they will pull up their socks before having the same fate like KM CA (Canada).
Cheer up, bro!! KMOS needs your frontline support!

Marketing and selling things which they only bring in? Selling things and leaving end use high and dry without the appropiate services? What bout things which I want and they didn't bring in? It's not my fault if they do not bring in some lens which I want and some other brands have them in SG. Well, this is minolta. Sell a lens and ask you to wait for few months for just a lens hood which end user lost? yea, you may say that end user is unlucky, don't care bout his stuffs well, but end of the day, we are paying to buy, not asking them to give free. And most important, when we use out stuffs, bound to have broken or lost lens hood...

yeap yeap... seriously, not that we going to flaunt or something... we got money to spend, they dun have the things we wanna spend on, another camp start to raise their flags, what should we do?
and seriously thou, i think its a worldwide issue, the angle finder, b&h constantly out of stock, and it takes a long time for even b&h to restock. i think they need to change their policy.

Well, good luck to minolta ya. I don't mean to comdemm a world innovator in camera technology...but if a company only wants your money and don't want to provide back end support...would you support the company?
So how long does the lens cap need to be shipped here to SG? Do they ship only 1 piece or?Laugh My F***ing Ass Off....
vader said:
hehe.. sorry didn't notice your reply.
no argument with you, what you said is so true. May be I got so used to it that it doesn't bother me much.. :bsmilie: Like I said lor, I order my accessories from overseas from time to time, b'cos going to city hall is also pain in the a** to me. Always ask friends to buy for me. I prefer to receive at my doorstep. :bsmilie:

Actually i do not really look upon SGP KMAC for user replacment expendables like hoods etc...
I have dived into using overseas suppliers that would also provide option of getting used hood at really cheap price. Same goes to exotic lens. I think, its generally fair to say that the user size for KM is still low compared to the other players - Cikon and Nanon.
And if the shops are not willing to stock up items.....i guess KM which dont do of the counter sales wouldn't also have much to offer.
I think we as KM users can come together in more concerted effort in initiating or leading MO's for things like caps, hood or even accesories form overseas vendors. Its a simple process actually and this is not that difficult to execute too. We tend to find parts in the US as their user population is much larger then SGP.
Having KM to change their opening times to suit users i think is quite far fetched, as they do have internal factors which may influence their current operating hours.
Its just the "level of demand" that you ask for in a spur or instance of time that you wish KMsc operated in line with your free time. Where most of the time, you probably would not care - not even care if they actually existed if you have no problems with your equipments.
As far as i know in the past, you can make specific appoinment with them in cases where you urgently need to send in item - out of their operating window. You should be able to call them to probabaly wait for say 10~5mins - on case to case basis - this is a more realistic method then to just operate in specifc hours....at least for now...
Often ...we expect KM to stock accesories. Which will make them charge a premium for those parts that thay sell - as they need to assume the price of the item if not sold through the year, to be divided to the price of item they could sell. Anyone who have experieced with RS Electronics components in Australia will realise this. One resistor which normally cost $0.20 can cost $20 - because they need to assume that if they can't sell the item - at tleast the losses are covered. All for the sake of companies existence..........Therefore these accessories will tend to be $$$.
