Hi all,

I just wanted to post this under an anonymous name so to inform everyone here about the above place. Yes, they have Konica parts, but it is so expensive (and quite a rip-off) that I didn't want anyone getting sucked into buying any of this stuff at these prices:

Eg.

Konica Port cover (you know those 3mm rubber things): $7.50! Konica sells them for $1.26

Konica Body Cap: $8.50! Konica sells them for $1.50 Konica AA FT-1 holder: $50!! Konica sells them for $27 and it goes on and on.

So, be informed and Don't get ripped off ok?

Konica rip off

If you go back about 39 messages ago.....you'll see that we've discussed this before. Is there a difference between "cyberbooger" marking up a part and your local Konica Authorized Dealer? That said, I bought mine from Konica Photo Imaging and they only have parts left for the FT-1.....or so they say.
