Tanya, Sorry, but John of Pentax USA won't be interested in an Aussie's project.
Pentax USA really has no connection to the Australian importer/distributor of Pentax (CR Kennedy, IIRC); and Hoya Pentax in Japan doesn't dirty its hands with consumers in either place. Pentax Australia is whom you need to contact.
