Hi,
yep, a good ep will always give better views and therefore more enjoyment than the cheapies that come with our toys
Recently there was a forum discussion on the Baader Hyperion click-zoom 8-24mm - which in case it's not obvious, is a zoom ep meaning that you don't need to be continually swapping !
So, having decided that this was the one for me, I found out they were distributed in Oz by Andrews and York Optical. Pricing on the forum was suggested as being approx $399 - not bad for a quality zoom EP. However, Andrews, took a couple fo days to reply, and then had them but didn't advise price. York never replied at all
So, a quick google and I ordered one from Optcorp in California for $215 plus about $30 postage. Seems to me the extra weeks worth of wait will more than pay for itself.
But i never fail to be amazed at the tardiness in service that some of our suppliers provide. I'd prefer to buy local but not if it means I have to ask several times. Optcorp replied within hours from California - why couldn't Andrews and York from Aus
Gripe over - just my 2c.
Cheers,
