You guys' arsenal looks power packed! I have just upgraded my light sabre from model 717 to model 828.

Need some good power units to juice it up. Any idea where to find those nice good and cheap 3rd party batts?

Welcome to the Sony Jedi Council.
I think you can find the 3rd party battery at East Gear.

think most of us got from konota or CP, since its at the same building... go either 1 to get or place order if unavailable.

Yup...at KONOTA from Nelson I think @ $28. And its just a plastic cap...but extremely useful when it comes to diffusing light.

[King Tiger]

It is opposite BATA shop.

Hi Ramses

You can check on other models like Crumpler STAMP CLAIMER, Crumpler 15 Love, Crumpler NEXT VENUE which is also suitable for F828 storage.
Do view their website @ http://www.crumplerusa.com
At this moment, I only know CP and the Crumpler shop at Wheellock place selling Crumpler Bag.
If you keen to buy crumpler bag,go to CP Marina, look for Chia, Simon and Sam who are friendly staff to serve you.

Also, you can consider other brand like Lowepro @ http://www.lowepro.com

Saw on your list you have both the telecoverter and the closeup lens. Like to check with you that with both of them combined, what are the results in terms of:

a) Focusing distance (at 200mm) from lens to subject?
b) Compared with using the closeup lens alone, do you get a larger magnification with (a)?
