Pentax to close Head Office, Repair Station and Warehouse in Vancouver!

[Cameron Hood]

    Vancouver is a city of 1.5 million people. And this is the only 
Pentax repair station west of Toronto, over 3,000 miles away. They plan 
on operating in Canada out of Toronto only. This can not be a good 
thing, and cannot be a sign of a healthy company.

    BTW, Pentax has been here since the 70's, and they own their own 
building.

    While you're worried about crippled lens mounts and such, how would 
you people in Britain like to have to ship your cameras to the middle 
east to get fixed? 3,000 miles for a CLA? This is just plain awful, and 
yet another reason to jump ship (not to mention the fact that their new 
cameras are supremely ugly, MZ-S excluded).
