New Manfrotto MVH502AH in stock
We have just recieved our first delivery of this head. All our Video DSLR users will love this: Better ergonomics, adjustable counter balance, smoother panning. It is quite bulky though, but it is worth it for smooth video. The Australian RRP is $295 but we are much less of course.
Canon EF 8-15mm Fisheye lens $1650
We have the latest Canon Fisheye lens in stock. Why not come and try it out? You can get a full rectangle image at 15mm on Full frame cameras like the 5D111 (which we have of course, for $3870!), and a full rectangle image at 10mm on crop frame cameras like the 7D. We took this photo at one large step away from the shop window, at the 8mm focal length, on a 5DIII.
Rode Microphones for your DSLR
We stock the Rode Videomic and videomic Pro and NTG2 and Lapel mic, and cables and other bits for recording audio when using your DSLR for video. We get everything out of the box, plug it in, and show you stuff. And our pricing should be the same as internet warehouses anyway, so you are not paying extra.
Sirui Carbon Fibre tripods.
We have found a Chinese brand of carbon fibre tripod we are happy with. Sirui tripods are designed and wholly manufactured by the same company. The metal alloy components are forged rather than cast, the legs are a super dooper 8 layer design, and the locking system is secure. These are great tripods. Prices range from $200 to $400.
As this is a "real" brand, we can get spare parts and offer ongoing support.
Come into the shop to have a look, or ask us to send you a glossy brochure.
Calibrate your monitor for accurate colour.
We stock the Spyder 3 and new Spyder 4 colorimeters and almost know how to use them. Come in and test us out.
Canon 5D Mark III in stock today $3870
22 March 2012 News Flash: We have received our first delivery of Canon 5D111 body , and a couple of "premium kit" (with the 24-105mm f4 lens). I have contacted customers on my waiting list, but luckily have excess stock (While stock lasts, etc etc!) So if you want to make us rich, just pay $3870 including GST for the 5DIII body only and $4850 for the Premium kit. We are obviously an authorised Australian Canon Pro Dealer, so you can be reassured that Canon Australia know who we are (real Australian warranty, eligible for CPS registration, and so on)
We are taking orders for the New Nikon D4
As we are an authorised Australian Nikon Pro dealer, we expect to receive an allocation from the first shipment of Nikon D4 to Australia. If you would like to put your name down to be called when we have stock, or if you just want to have a look and demonstration, then contact us. We will be happy to show you what looks like will be a fantastic camera. More info
