Second hand (camera) shops. Both my A200 and A28 came from (different) ones in Cambridge.

Thanks Sophie. However I am living in Finland and it seems that we don't have locally enough covering second-hand shops.
I wonder is there any internet addressesses where one can sell and buy used camera accessories. Anybody know?

B&H Photo ships world wide. They have good service, a very reputable firm. I order from them regularly (from the US).
They're not the cheapest, although not overpriced, and they will charge you for shipping, but it may be your best bet. I got my A-200 from them for about $90 plus shipping.

The A28 is the wide angle converter isn't it? How do you find it? I read your report (?) on Bryan's page. Do you really use it? What's the quality like? etc. etc.
I'm trying to find a wide angle for the D7i and your report is really one of the only positive one's there!Robert
Hi!
I've bought one via Ebay from U.K.
But prices are relatively high now for used ones as there are many d7 owners looking for it.
There is presently one at:

Good luck!

The big caveat comes here: I bought it faced with the pressure of going to Italy (Tuscany) and knowing I'd be taking pictures of big buildings in small squares. I hadn't thought of wanting any extension to the D7's wide angle capability before that! (I wanted the zoom extension virtually instantly - the first use of the D7 the day after it arrived was to take pictures of aircraft at an airshow.)
Yes, that's mine.
Yes: in Tuscany, the expected problems did arise (big building, small square, you can't get far enough away) and the A28 was pressed into frequent service. Interestingly enough, the same situations also saw some use of the A200 - I wanted to take closeups of the statues on the Duomo in Florence!
Well, I've done that report for Bryan to show what it can do - and to document the blurriness as you zoom into the A28. It is shame it blurs, 'cos otherwise you could leave it on the camera for extended periods.What's the quality like? etc. etc.
If you look at http://www.sophie.org.uk/Tuscany , then you'll see 3 pictures taken through the A28 and one comparative full-wide angle shot (3727 is the full wide shot). There's no way you could have taken the shot of the Duomo and Baptistry in Florence or the Baptistry, Duomo and Leaning Tower in Pisa without something wider than 28mm - your back is up against the buildings! I've not seen John's comparative shots with his 19-35mm on his Dynax 5 to say how well I did - nor have I had the time to stuff the images through the Panorama tools to correct the view (which should be really dramatic on the Pisa shot).
Yes - I'm happy - the A28 was cheap and good (much more useful than the Minolta long remote cable!). If you want to solve the same problem I did, then I can highly recommend the A28. If you want to take "that bit wider" landscape photos, then maybe not (those two of Florence from Fiesole (3727 and 3729) don't make too good a case!).
