I'd talk to Chris at SRS. He'll be able to tell you how to order and what the delay, if any, is likely to be.
Best regards, John

I already have spoken to someone over there but it seems the camera is a recluse at the moment, wonder if hassy and phase one have strained production demands of the sensor. No word on expectancy either

What does that actually mean? Do you need to place an order to be put on a waiting list?

We have some here in Melbourne, The price is $AU 11700.- with a 55mm lens

The company is TEDs.

They have that many, they have to sell them.

Kind regards, Horst

It means srs have no idea when to expect the camera as Pentax have not reported delivery dates, I called up calumet and it was the same situation, ricoh's UK website say they are out of stock too. I'd rather not put myself on a waiting list and wait for weeks because its looking like it may be a bit of a long stretch. Does that answer your question?

The Clifton Cameras web site says " stock arriving now - call for availability " worth a punt !

If you're not on the waiting list it might be much longer before there's freely available stock.

That's really annoying, so much money and can't buy what I want when I want it NOW. Well that's what I dreamt last night

My local dealers doing them for £499 body only.......
but........ he hasn't any in stock!

Seems a bit odd.... most things are cheap when he hasn't
got them in stock!

I think you forgot the Zero on the end of the 499.

I wonder if this is connected to you. I popped in on the off chance of a bargain but he said he'd just sold the last one an hour earlier, and was waiting for new stock

Maybe he hopes it will fall of a truck!

For 499 I'll buy ten straight away

You don't get a FREE Film though even though the main
perspex sign above the shop says "FREE FILM with every camera"
he claims it doesn't apply to digital..... because when it was
put up in the 1950's they didn't foresee that one day there
would be such a thing as a digital camera. I've had that one
out with him before
