Does anyone know of a reputable dealer that currently has the Oly B-300 in stock? At a competetive price?

Thanks for your input.

I ordered it last week from buy.com and got it in only a couple of days. They have a competitive price to begin with and $30 of $150 coupons on top of that. Just add something to your order, like printer paper and you are all set.

Thanks to Fred and Lin we are all on the heels of a B-300 under $140. But there surlely must be other teleconverters that with the help of a step up/down ring can work with the TC-E2.

Anyone care to share?

Gene,

There are others that will work but after seeing the pics from others NOTHING compares to the quality of the B300...The proofs in the pudding ya know...

Ward,

I have used this company before and have gotten excellent results. The site is http://www.cameraworld.com . Cannot swear this link to the lens will work in this forum but here it is http://cameraworld.com/adtemplate.asp?invky=07596 and the current price is $134.99/shipping is ~$10.00 and is said to ship in 1-2 days. Good luck!

I just ordered over the phone a Oly B 300 & step down ring :) a few min ago from Cameraworld $158.00 3 day shipping.
 
Texsstar,

Do you (or anyone elese) have any experience with Cameraworld? I've avoided the east coast camera guys (except for CK Power, which is wonderful) because of all of the adverse posts you see on this, and other sites. Heck, come to think of it, I don't even know if Cameraworld is east coast or not.......

I've read on these forum's people who ordered from cameraworld have had good things to say about them. You can use the search option here and just type in cameraworld and also they are located in OR.

What an ordeal! This item is getting in VERY SHORT SUPPLY, and it is not easy to find. Now, I'll just wait and see if I got a line of BS, or if the outfit I ordered it from actually has it in stock. I'll report back Wednesday on the firm.

thanks

I got mine from J&R Music. They have it in stock but you'll pay about $20 more ($150). I bought it there because I was exchanging something else and didn't want add'l hassle. I'll post some test results over the weekend--although I have to work both days : [

Hi Ward,

I totally realize your frustration as it is mine too! I have placed 4 orders with different vendors only to have them cancel my orders due to short supply. I finally found the "illusive" lens and one is shipping to me on Monday.............big bucks though. Almost highway robbery! I can't even mention the price I'm so ashamed.............supply and demand. I need it for my fall vacation!!!

Why does it seem SO difficult to find this lens................ah well, we know why.......................it's FRED's pix...........NO WONDER THEY ARE SOLD OUT!!!!!

Take care,
Nancy : )

I was in capitol Camera in Austin, Tx. this evening and left at about 6:10 Pm. At that time they had one (1) B-300 lens for $129.00. They did not have a stepdown adapter. Capitol Camera will be out of business Sunday.

They may take a lesser offier, but not if you talk to David. I bought one a couple of days ago for $100 but from another salseman.

Dont know if the will ship or not, but it may be worth a try.

Nancy,

I think that Olympus owes Fred (and/or Lin) a commission. Makes you wonder why some enterprising marketing folks at Olympus, B&H, Adorama, etc., hadn't figured the combination out on their own. I guess when everyone is rolling in success no one is interested in trying to create more success, right? Both the B-300 and the TC-E2 have been around for quite a long time now, and we're just now making this discovery? I guess that the moral of the story is that we should not rely on the manufacturers or even the mass marketers when it comes to crossing lineage lines and discovering combinations that work. What other impressive combinations are out there that we haven't stumbled across yet?

I'm heading to Atlanta a week from Monday, and then to the White Mountains of Vermont in the middle of October, and I definitely want have the B-300 available to put on the end of my EagleEye for both of those trips. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I've finally ordered from someone who is reliable..
