trevor_peterson2 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <p>Thanks for the heads up. Can anyone give any advice re. cable release vs remote? also, is 24 dollars a good price for k10/k20 batteries? i know some people go off brand for them. Thanks!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c2500 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <p>They really need to think about their shipping charges.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew miller Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <p>Eh. The clearance prices aren't so great — for example, once you figure in the shipping, the DA★ 50-135 is only 2.5% cheaper than B&H. And the AF540FGZ is <em>more expensive</em> !</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_elenko Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <p>Trevor,<br> I see no reason for a wired cable release. Wireless works. But you should be able to score a wireless Jianisi for $5 including shipping if you search. The same device works on Nikon, Canon, and Konica-Minolta cameras too. Buy two or more, they are small and easy to lose.</p> <p>ME</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_campbell Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <p>So what's so great about these prices?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 <p>Actually, the prices are not that great. The fish eye cost a little more at b&h so that would be where I would buy it from. Better for me to pay a little more and get good service.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg_ny Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 <p>The wired cable release allows you to lock the shutter open for bulb, and also allows a half-press for AF which you can't do with the IR remote. That said, I find it sometimes tricky to actually get half-press with that remote though it sometimes works for me. Anyway, I like it for tripod work. You can extend the cable with extension cords as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_meilicke Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 <p>Often clearance, going out of business, etc. type sales have increased prices. It works. People get charmed into thinking they are getting a good deal because of the 'clearance'. There was a good piece about this practice on This American Life when Circuit City went under. The first thing the liquidators did in that case was increase prices to near MSRP. And the product flew off of the shelves.<br> Scott</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaloot Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 <p>hey now, I never said these were great prices, :-) just pointing out to some folks a place where Pentax gear was going on sale... now if you use Bing cashback, then it's some good deals to be had.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbollinger Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 <p>I am pretty sure Wolf/Ritz is in bankruptcy, so they are selling off inventory to raise cash for creditors.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
