Eclipse retail in Sydney

Postby Sheila Smart on Mon Feb 06, 2006 12:22 pm

Is there anywhere in Sydney where one can buy Eclipse over the counter rather than have it shipped from Nulabs?

Thanks for your time.

Cheers
Sheila

I have more than enough and would be happy to give you some Sheila :)
It's not like we live ages away from each other.
Birddog may also be able to help you with a purchase of this also.

Sheila - the Eclipse fluid is just Methyl Alcohol, so if you can source this it will do the job :wink:

Chris,
Penfolds Grange 51 will do the job better than Methyl Alcohol :lol: :lol:

Sheila,
We still have some free methanol for members, you need to find a container and have 100ml for your stock.

Thanh, I'll be right around; my sensor is filthy!

Shelia,

Can you do better than that?

Birddog: I need some Methyl Alcohol to clean my lens as well, could I come and get some off from you?

Thanks all. I do have a couple of bottles but was just curious if it can be obtained in Sydney. When I run out, I'll take up Birddog's kind offer. While on the subject, I do recommend Copperhill's SensorSwipe and hope it fits my 5D (when I find one which is reasonably priced.. I won't hold my breath!).

A little off topic, but Shelia are you currently camera-less ? Or do you have one of your earlier cameras availble for you to shot with till the 5D is bought and arrives ?

For the first time in four years, I am cameraless! (And of course, I saw a great shot at lunchtime :cry: ). I am currently doing the rounds of Sydney retail camera stores and the cheapest I have found is Foto Riesel at $4,807. I can get the GST back when I leave for NZ on 1 March. I did try a 5D with a 17-40 (which I have) and boy, is it wide :D I will hold off until my husband's contact gets back to work on Tuesday. I did email Foto Riesel and suggested that they chuck in a 2 gig card. I won't hold my breath.

My husband does have an IXUS 700 which I may use until I get the 5D. Oh, the indignity :oops:

Good luck getting a good deal Shelia, I hope your hubby pulls through with a nice deal.

I've shot with my wifes IXUS 50 a bit, and I can somewhat relate to the indiginty you speak off, on the other hand sometimes its just the right size, when a full blown SLR would be prohibitive.

It's much easier to sneak into concerts and the like too!
