Buying a Tcon17. (1 Viewer)

Hi Guys,
Where in the UK, would you suggest I buy a Tcon17 tele-converter and adapter, to fit my Lumix FZ20?
I know some members have bought from Pemaraal, any info/etc on buying from the US, much appreciated.

Hi Alan,

I bought from Pemaraal - Tcon 17 and PA55H adaptor, and the whole experience was quicker and cheaper than I would have got from any UK supplier (assuming you could get an adaptor in this country in the first place).

It really is as simple as going to www.pemaraal.com, selecting the items you want (which I reiterate are much cheaper than the best UK price I could find), select the delivery type (there's an "expedited order" option which I would recommend) and from order to delivery took less than a week - most of which time was taken up by UK Customs, who caught me for the VAT!

Even with the VAT though, it was still cheaper than buying the stuff in the UK (banging on about that, aren't I? ;))

It was of course, hugely entertaining to track the parcel through the US, across the Pond, into the UK and to my front door, and I'd use Pemaraal again in a heartbeat.

I bought a Tcon from "The Digital Camera Company". Very impressed with their service. www.digital-cameras.com They are based in Guildford, Surrey. Tel: 0870 777 8550

I ordered over the telephone, and spoke to a real person straight away. I like the fact they have a "proper" address too. The Tcon was delivered the following day. I paid £79.00

Excellent service, in fact I ordered a second Tcon from them, after mine was dropped and smashed! I have also bought an Oly750UZ camera from them, and the Lens adaptor too.

Regards

I bought mine from Amazon, it took a couple of weeks to come but I think it cost about £65, I got the adaptor from them as well.
