I put in an order for one of these, but B&H says "Out of Stock". Expected in 7-14 days.

They had them in stock for a couple of weeks, but I held off, so it's my fault.

No problem, it won't change my life in any significant way.

Thanks for the tip, Nick. Do they charge for shipping?

Yes they charge for shipping, but not sales tax. I saved a bundle getting my Z 70-200 from them.

My wife does our taxes and she is too honest. She'll pay the state tax anyway.

I hope you don’t have to wait too long Jim?

My second body turned up earlier this week. It appears most resellers have stock downunder, although they must be selling. I procrastinated about buying a second body. By the time I placed the order there was no more stock of the SmallRig grips in Australia. I needed to place another order from China.

According to their website it is free shipping over $99

Today it was warm, but not warm enough (plus the breeze was cool) for the majority of Sun Orchids. Tomorrow is going to be warmer than today, hopefully more varieties and colours will open. I'm looking forward to the pink and salmon varieties to open, plus other blue and yellow ones as well.

Actually, I got free shipping and no state sales tax charge. Reading the fine print on the Virginia tax laws for internet sales, I find that they may be exempt from having to collect it since they probably do less than the threshold amount of business in the state.

Great! I guess that I forgot on the shipping because I was pretty happy to get the lens before I headed off to Alaska this summer.

Enjoy!

Another fine set of very interesting flower photographs, Richard. Were you using the Z MC 105 micro on these?

Thank you Jim. Yes, I was using the Z 105mm micro lens.

There were so many orchids out today, it was fantastic. I took 1188 shots, and the camera still showed the battery was fully charged on the meter (which makes me wonder how accurate it is). I still haven't managed to flatten a battery as yet!

Here are a few from today...

Has anyone mentioned this new accessory for the Zfc? It's an hand grip which has grooves for Arca-Swiss tripod mount built into the base.

Looks like a worthwhile item.

 

[Palouse]

As long as you have a safe and convenient way of shooting verticals on a tripod, I'd think it would be useful.
