[QUOTE="Crazie, post: 351719, member: 30752"] Yeah.. the locals here have to improvise quite a bit due to the circumstances; small population is the cause of high labor & logistic costs. I've got a mate who's a fitter and turner by trade; he might help me out here... fingers crossed.:stung: Folks in northern America can ship small parcels from coast to coast overnight; for few dollars at most. We hillbillies here need to pay a fortune to get things shipped. Once I was charged $22 freight for $20's worth of AA rechargeable batteries; just because I didn't un-check the "overnight shipping" box.. damn!!! The alternative was a 3 days' wait @$10 freight. Still expensive at any measure. 200 ?? I don't think I need that many .. Yup; last I heard our dollar is at USD$0.93. That's why I'm looking to stock up from eBay. I got my YN565ex + Yn 568ex flash from eBay; I also got a set of the Yn622N/TX triggers as well; next to get is a softbox/ umbrella Kit.. Plus; need to duplicate your flat bar contraption & acquiring some of these 1/4" bolts and nuts... fun and games. :smile-new: Looking to get some ND filters to try out some long exposure shots. And I feel just like a kid in a toy shop ... very rejuvenating indeed. [/QUOTE]
