Postby olrac on Thu Jun 23, 2005 2:28 pm

I was just wondering where is a good place to get or order in step up adapters

Hi Olrac,

I was just checking those myself. I checked with filtershop, and that is the reply I got back from them. They are based in Wollongong.

A step up ring 62-67 will allow you to use you 67mm filter on your telephoto lens with 62mm filter thread. We have in stock, the item code is 506267, the cost is $18.50. You may order on our website - Filtershop.com.au. Shipping is $8.80. We normally send Australia Post Express Bag.


HTH,

André

any of the chains sell them... they are not expensive enough to worry about price..

I got a 58-72 the other day from teds... (we use them in the lab all the time)

Check out this post that Greg started a while back now. He found a nice little shop in Melbourne willing to help him out.

Good work Nicole - yes olrac, go to
Camera Lane, cnr Lt Bourke and Hardware Lane

I tried Ted's (and just got bad attitude) and several other stores along elizabeth street to no avail.

Camera Lane will do the trick (and probably Vanbar too, I didn't try there but they would have stepping rings)

I was recommended to go there by the guys at camera exchange but my parking meter was about to run out so i didnt get time

I took radars advise and got it from filtershop.com.au

I also picked up some close up filters aty the same time just to reduce the overall postage cost of course......

I must say they had decent prices for filters about 20% less than what i have purchased some of my filters.

Thanks again.

Vanbar sells the Photolab branded step rings. Just search "photolab step" sans quotes on the Vanbar site.

Cheers
