Just a note about the Pentax XW's being sold by AEC. I asked Claude about these just over 6 months ago (yup they have been there that long). At that stage I was looking for a 3.5mm Pentax XW, which AEC had advertised. Claude was up front with me on the phone and advised me that while the eyepieces were new and had never been sold, they had been used as shop test samples and were originally sourced from Barry Gooley (KK) in Japan and not through CR Kennedy which is the Australian Pentax Distributor. In addition, Claude advised me that while he had the bolt cases for the eyepieces, he did not have the original green boxes as they were never supplied by Barry. On the basis that I have the boxes and bolt cases for all my other Pentax XW's, I decided against the purchase as I was saving less than $50 compared to purchasing direct from the USA.
Cheers,
John B
