Ausphotography Site Advertisers

Just ordered Manfrotto 393 from B&H, will see how long it takes

[KevPride]

Last week I ordered a Lens & Flash plus other goodies from B & H/ via UPS, received 4 days after posting 2.5 days of this within Aust. They were well packed and I am totally happy.

I will certainly use them again.

Just a note, if you click on the banners above and then make your order, AP gets commission, which all helps to give me the funds to keep the site online (hosting costs etc) and any additional monies are given back in prizes from time to time. But you have to click through to the sites from the banners on AP and then make your purchase. It doesn't cost you any more for your order, the advertisers just send a little commission my way, so if members would be kind enough to use the banner links, it would be appreciated.

Hi Rick, I did that but I have no idea whether it came to you or not. Would be nice if the order had some reference to AP as an Agent or referee.

Nah it doesnt as far as I know, my affiliate account with them just ticks over an extra dollar or two, it all helps, thanks!

I was sure, and it seems I am not the only one
That Servaas Products, who now seem to be Protog were a site sponsor, is this not the case ??

Was looking at some products they have but can get elsewhere for moderatley less so was going to push the business their way to help out here ??

Jeff is currently rebadging his business and changing the name of it is part of that process. He will be re-launching soon. In the meantime check out the new site : http://www.protog.com.au/

Cheers Rick,

I found his site, I was just enquiring as to whether he is still a site sponsor, as that could sway my purchase choice.

Sort of. Jeff and I are presently renegotiating his contract due to the change of company names, website etc. New banner ads are coming, but the old ones are down cause they point to the old business name. Because I have legally binding contracts, we need to finalise it all and get it all re-signed under the new company name etc. But certainly I would not say 'don't buy from him cause he isn't an advertiser", its just that at present its a bit messy.

[MarkChap]

Most certainly would not - "not buy from him because he is not an advertiser" -

For once I am actually not in any great hurry to spend my money so will probably just wait until you get it all settled and then buy

Just a question and excuse my ignorance , with the likes of Digital Rev when you buy a camera and lens from them , are these what is called grey imported equipment with no australian warranty as there price for a D700 and 24-70 has almost got me ordering one right now.

[Kym]

@Goatch - with any grey or OS advertiser you need to check the legals on warranty for yourself.
AP are not responsible.

As I understand things some brands have international warranty on lenses but not bodies.
Eg: http://ww2.nikon.com.au/warranty.php

Per site rule [20] this post does not constitute legal advice

Yes, some of the site advertisers are 'grey market'. Each member should assess the services provided by any advertiser, to ensure they meet what they want.

Cheers guys , thanks for the info .

I've had great experience buying off B&H...When dealing with overseas companies, it's always a relief to know the companies you can trust. B&H is one of them! But from now on I will click through Ausphotography to purchase from B&H so commission stays at home.

Protog

+1 for Protog. I bought umbrellas, brackets and stands - great gear, delivered promptly.

[Tjfrnds]

+1 for Protog. Bought a softbox kit, great price & quick delivery.

From B&H, just order my long saved for 60D.
First time buying anything on w.w.w., so I'm now nervously exited.

No longer nervous, still excited
60D arrived before lunch today. Including Independence Day holiday in the U.S., from there to regional N.S.W. in less than 6 days.
Got a good price, linked through AP all round. B&H.
I'm off to read a manual

it makes things very difficult when you live in a remote area and most people don't have a land line number. I tried to get an answer out of pay pal but their on line help is non existant and just keeps going pound in circles. The online chat agent from e Global tried his best to help.
