MPB store in UK? (1 Viewer)

Don't wanna start new trhead to ask my question, so I thought to ask here. Hope you wont mind, and I also hope that someone might have some usefull info.

I am looking to buy a teleconverter: Kenko 1.5x DG AF Teleplus Teleconverter for Canon EOS or Tamron 1.4x AF Teleconverter for Canon EOS. I have a friend in London who can do me a favour and buy it for me, but he doesn't know where to look. The local photo store in his neighborhood doesn't have either one of those.. and I am not from UK so I am also clueless. Web search proved in vain, so I am really hoping that someone here might give me some clue. (p.s. I am not thinking about online ordering, I need a street address of some store). Thanks in advance.

Trouble is, many stores will not have the part in stock though they could order it. http://www.microglobe.co.uk/catalog/ have a physical shop and sell Kenko teleconverters...but get your friend to order in advance and pick it up.

Hopefully you mean the Kenko Teleplus Pro 300 DG 1.4x teleconverter... as this really is the one to get, I'm not sure how widespread the Tamron version of this is in the U.K. There are some awful teleconverters under both these brand names out there, so be careful.

In the interests of fairness, another London shop to consider
http://www.cameraworld.co.uk/ (in fact I purchased a Kenko 1.4x from them a few years ago.)

cheers,
Andy
 
Thanks for your reply Andy. No, I don't mean Kenko Teleplus Pro 300 DG 1.4x... another friend can order that one for me from ebay, but that's not the one I want. I'll check the links you gave me. Thanks once again.
