Stock Issues - Part II

Well after tracking down another retailler who 'alleged' to have stock I ordered the part, this time from B&H in the states. This will be the first time I've ordered from the states [as far as I can recall] so I'm eager to see how this shapes up.

I have had confirmation that this has shipped now and will be coming to be for $65 which equates to around £33 and I potentially need to add VAT [@ 17.5%] to this figure so the final could be £39. Expensive for the adaptor but I'm just relieved I will be able to use the MT 24-EX again and get the best out of the 180mm Macro.

Hopefully I have the adaptor for this weekend, should allow me to get out and about taking some shots. I have thus far been under-whelmed by my efforts with the lense but thats mainly down to lighting and local conditions. We'll see what the future brings.

Stock Issues

Well since I bought the Canon 180mm f/3.5 L Macro I have been trying to find a Macrolite adaptor for the Canon MT24-EX. I knew this would be required but didn't realise it would be so hard to find! I ordered one recently and the firm took all day to let me know they didn't have stock, I then ordered from a HK retailler and they topped this by taking 9 days! to tell me they don't have stock.

The problem is I won't be able to use my £600 dedicated Macro flash system until I can get this £30 part. Annoying but one of those things, I'll have to wait until someone gets stock then order one on. For now I'm holding orders with a couple of people and will see who can get it to me fastest.
