Really Right Stuff Sydney group buy EOI?

Postby losfp on Mon Sep 11, 2006 4:35 pm

Anyone want to buy any RRS gear and share the $US50 shipping? leek organised the last group buy with great success, and now it's my turn!!

I want to keep this under $1000 AUD so as not to attract any undue attention from the friendly folk at customs ;) After my purchase, there should be about another $750 AUD available for anyone to order.

After they arrive, items can be picked up from North Sydney during business hours, Quakers Hill after hours, or at a meet.

I'd like to place an order by Tuesday night, so if you are interested, please let me know......

Changed my mind again.

Get me the BD200 ($55). I'm not sure about the whacking big plate, also don't think I need the l-plate for now (famous last words)

Also not an overinvestment if I end up not being able to use.

That's it, I'm done, no more chopping and changing :lol: :lol: :lol:

Got one a few weeks ago, BH-55, awesome :shock: will be using it for a very loooong time :P

Like tripods, most neglected part of the photogs kit, when you add up how much you spend on "inferior" gear before reaching for the top shelf, well, think you may have spent more in the end :lol:

Does your 180mm have a collared lens?

If so you might need the B150-B Pkg.

yeah it does but I can still use my L-plate on my body. US$425 from memory for the package is even worse :)
