MO: OEM 55mm-55mm Lens Adaptor for Fujifilm S602Z

Newbie123 · 23rd January 2003

As the above mentioned product is not available in Singapore (only available wif purchase of WA/TC), a couple of us will be ordering the adapter from the US. The adaptor is black in colour and is manufactured by Kenko. We would like to invite interested parties to join us so as to benefit from lower price due to sharing of shipping cost. We have enquired and the shipping cost will be $15USD (via UPS). The adapter itself is $12USD. We hope to get 10 interested parties, so the cost of the adapter is around ~$24SGD (depending on exchange rates)

Actually, have u all looked into getting the taiwanese made adaptors? Some of them are made to reduce the effects of vignetting.

Snapper · 23rd January 2003

Just Curious but what sort of adapters are these ? Are these male to male adapters ? If they are, there are some places that I think you can get it.

Newbie123 · 23rd January 2003

Its like a normal lens adapter for other cameras

So looks like you got the 602 ... good choice ...

i ordered the raynox teleconverter from a shop in taiwan, and asked him to get for me together. adapter converted is around $45.... but quality is much better than the 3rd party 55-52 sold in AP.

Strange, I enquired about the WL-FX9 conversion lens and they mixed it up with the AR-FX9 adapter I didn't check with AP on this. Here is the mail...

Thank you for your reply.

I've recently been trying to get Fujifilm's WL-FX9 wide angle conversion
lens for use on my Fujifilm Finepix S602Z digital camera, and many of the
well known camera retailers told me that it's out of stock. (In fact none of
them have it) I'm wondering if the product have been discontinued? IF not,
any idea of an estimated time it should arrive in Singapore? Or is it
possible to give me a list of the retailers in Singapore who orders from
Fujifilm Singapore that I may check the availability of the product.

I'll really want to get it before the Chinese New Year.

Thank you,

david
