Re: K5IIs BREAKING NEWS!!!


Felix.. The Thomas is your friend or you just bump to him. Sound like I know him..
C to O to Pentax k5. Sound so like the person I know through an event when he was the photographer.. Lol.

Just know him there only. He may be someone you know then.
 

I'm a current Kx user.
Mostly taking general family, outing and sports photos.
I'm really frustrated with the Kx imprecise focus.

Am really tempted to get the K5ii or K5iis
Just wondering which will be more suited for my use.

Was at Sitex and the price looks good, but a call to OP reveal even better price.
1769 k5ii with 18-135
1999 k5iis with 18-135


Or maybe I should go with k30?


Even better pricing!!
 

This is interesting. SLRR is selling the k5ii with 18-135 at 1953 & MS Color at 1960, yet OP & sgcamera can offer k5iis with 18-135 at 1999 & 1990. This is like get a k5iis at the price of a k5ii.

MS Color at Sitex or MS Color at AMK quoted $1960 for K5II + DA18-135, bec at SITEX it is $1810.

All pricing seems to be different, so do your homework and decide where is the best place to get your K5II or K5IIs.

Looks like price war but do your homework and decide which is the best place to get your K5II/K5IIs

Sitex is cheaper?
SITEX is run by MS Color and I was quoted K5II with 18-135 at $1810.

MS colour got ready stock? they told me K5IIs next Friday.....
 

so both shop got stpck for k5iis with 18-135? at S$1990?

I'm just quoting the k5iis price based on what the two bros posted in the earlier threads, not sure abt the stock.

The price difference is rather wide this time round though.
Imagine getting k5ii with 18-135 at MS Color at 1960 only to learn in this thread that you can get it at sgcamerastore at $200 lower.

That is why those who want to get it must come in here to compare prices and call the shops to reconfirm
 

From my FB reply from OP ( Lynn Chen )

"Pleased to inform that Pentax K5II body is selling at S$1439nett and K5IIs cost S$1599 after instant rebate. tks!"
 

Prices seems to be moving downwards for the last week or so...:bsmilie:

I want to get the K30. Think the K5II will be too much for me.
But I want the 18-135, (no K30 kit with this)...

Suggestion: anyone wants to buy the K5 II kit and split the costs for extra savings?
K5II with 18-135 (1760-1810). if I pay $460 for the lens, u can have the body at $1300 win win

This is suppose to be funny right? The pf is massive and lack d range. Camera phone?

I have to agree...
 

Ok...

I was at OP this morning.
Was quoted K5iis with 18-135 at $1999 including GST (Cash Payment).
Since I pay by visa, so my price is 3% more.
However, I decline the free SD card, so -$5.

Total damage : $2054 :bigeyes:

K5iis only comes in body only packaging.
OP actually got the lens from a K5ii package.
From what I saw, mine is the 2nd package they broke up for the contents.

Once buy liao, I don't want to know any more pricing info :)

Does the lens from the kit come with it's own warranty card?

That should be the way :)

Congrats on the new camera/lens. Don't forget to grab a DA35/2.4 and/or a 50/1.7/1.8 sometime along the way so you'd fully utilize the potential of such a good camera.

Sorry I've no idea. Why not call up some shops to find out? The only other options would be Sigma 30/1.4 and 50/1.4, but those are big and heavy, don't know if you'd like them. Very good lenses nevertheless.
