Chasing a Nikon 50mm 1.8D in Melbourne CBD

Postby Dennis The Menace on Thu Nov 27, 2008 12:11 pm

Does anyone know any camera stores in the Melb CBD that might have stock of the Nikon 50mm 1.8D??

I have rung and emailed Michaels and Camera Action / Camera House and they have no stock.

I am after one for this weekend because i am doing some shots in a prison cell as a 'mug shot' for a work end of year breakup.

Thanks, Dennis.

I know they are in Sydney but you could try http://www.d-d-photographics.com.au/nikonslracc.htm $210 plus $16 express courier.

Apparently Melbourne pick up is now available. But I'd try Camera Action or Ted's (if there is one) as we are still enjoying unadjusted pricing.

Excellent sirhc55 - they have stock at the Melb office in Exhibition street.

I have put an order through and pick up tomorrow night.

Thanks for the help.

Dennis.
