QUOTE(khakilang @ Jul 21 2013, 01:34 PM) I am planning of jumping ship to Pentax. Can anyone recommend me a reliable reseller to trade in my Nikon D200 and all the accessories for a Pentax DSLR. The model will depend how much I can trade in and how much I need to top up. Kind of a tight budget. Thanks! Can sell the Nikon gear in a camera forum or here perhaps.As for seller... if you are around JB try CLS in KSL City. You can find them on facebook and send them a message to check if they have the body you want. I think I spent around 2.5k on the K-5 end of last year... around November. I remember Pentax2u was more expensive. And yes, discontinued. This post has been edited by kadajawi: Jul 21 2013, 05:49 PM |

QUOTE(craxors @ Jul 21 2013, 06:26 PM) Haha, they are nice. Have almost everything. But I bought my camera there... felt really bad for them after having tested their private equipment Still no 10-24 on offer... but a self-made nodal point adapter for around RM 300. Would serve the same purpose and be even more flexible (can do 360 panoramas |

Depending on price but if it's not much of difference and the price is okay, then the K-5 IIs is a better buy. More decisive lock-on for focus and less hunting on low light.
Anyone here got 18-35 F/1.8 from Sigma already? Review seems very good and our Pentax has the "extra" for having SR built in. |

QUOTE(craxors @ Jul 24 2013, 07:06 PM) Pentax2u has it currently listed for RM 2,599. I think you can negotiate further with the webmaster. For US pricing, have to wait until black Friday. Currently Adorama selling USD 800 for that lens. Also around the same price as Pentax2u. Note that P2u has 2.5 years warranty compared to US set which is virtually zero. |

You can try go to Plaza Pudu, Look for Desmond of YL Camera. They buy 2nd hand cameras. I am not too sure if the pricing is competitive though.https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...3&hl=Nikon+D200 |

I know that place. I bought my Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 from there. His selling price is competitor but I don't know about his trade in. Anyway thanks for your suggestion. |
