Nice to have these lenses around to expand the M possibilities. The whole range is almost impossible to obtain in Australia. They do have a distributor, (Pentax distributor), however they have apparently zero interest in promoting the ZI gear within its niche market. Not a single word of info obtainable from them on their national web site. Even the dedicated film camera enthusiast dealers (Voigtlander and Leica sellers) that I have spoken to have given up on trying to carry any stock.
