Hard to get Minolta Accessories

Del_CtrlnoAlt · 24th October 2005

Eh, i'm thinking, maybe we could consolidate a list of minolta accessories not available in sg, den we import from B&H or Adorama...

So i start it off...

Eye Cup EH-7
1) Del_CtrlnoAlt x 2

btw dun move this to the consumer corner if possible, cos when its there, most likely nobody will even bother to reply... upz until 2 page also no response...

Psycho me to buy the KM 5400 scanner and Macro 100 mm from Bhphoto first else I spend on a new PC. Like that, I could bring in some of the items if not too ex. (USD 90 for me on shipping liao, add a bit more small item, don't think will increase much

)

Now me confuse

If scanner, need a PCI USB port due to chipset problem. If buy PC, scanner buy at a later date. Both cost ard the same. (Scanner side, +$700 more)

Update : Cost an extra of USD 1.25 only for 6 EH-7, haha! Will ask you guys again IF I am buying. (Now thinking, PC or Scanner???)

just did a enquiry on adorama & b&h, seems that adorama is cheaper, 7.50 per piece... bh is 7.95. anyway just a few cents diff...

den did a test, i think they do have stocks, i type 20x den ship to sg, total cost 190, 150+40.

bbtm, think if you coordinate, we don't mind helping you with the shipping cost lor, est, 8.5 per piece x 1.7 = 14.45, round off 15 lor. hehe... u save shipping...

since i not pro, i thinking of getting a microtek 1, cos might get a medium format to play, wait buy a 135 scanner den useless liao, den microtek 1 also got ICE.

$1.2k for scanner. Add the macro, I will be paying $2.2k with GST include. That mean lens cost 1k, save abt $300??? Therefore, price ard PC range and now, I must choose one.

But mine mostly brought ard Jan, need to recover after getting the wide lens and also, the B thing, haha!

Getting that? You might as well get a Minolta Dimagescan-Mulit-Pro

http://konicaminolta.com/products/co...ro/page02.html

It has better output the the Microtek Film Scanner.

If you want a flatbed, maybe you can look at Espon 4990

.
