Ricoh GXR!

Asked about the prices for Ricoh stuffs over the weekend and was shocked by the amount of increment. Do they want to kill off the brand here in Singapore?

Des, I missed the Pentax meet. If we have a next ricoh meet, let's just make sure they don't clash. ;-)

They have merged, in future, we can call it Ricoh-Pentax meet up. Looking forward Ricoh launch Pentax related photographic product.

"The news means that Ricoh's popular GR Digital IV compact as well as its unusual modular GXR system will now be handled by Pentax in the USA."

Suddenly my faith to ricoh and sigma reduced, photo competition with manual book as prize ?? Seriously ??

 

[Randius]

Seriously, I bought that book from Kinokuniya for way less than $69. This is pathetic as prize for a competition.

Price hike + pathetic prize, what is APD trying to show?

Different case is last year's bird park photo competition, the organizer didn't answer my question about the competition rule which i felt is in grey area, it feels like they are not serious, don't care about the competition itself , just aim for .....(you know the answer)
