Better to write what you need and where you are located.

Hi PanoPro

I got my Nikon Fisheye lens from a Honk Kong based company who advertise on eBay (.co.uk or .com, don't know about .fr). Good prices and received in here in France in 2 days.

You might also try www.pixmania.fr (French based company I think). They are always competative.

If you are interested I can look back to find the Hong Kong companies name.

By the way, where abouts are you based in France (hot isn't it!)?

Regards
Glenn

However... some Homg Kong Co. are not all that reputable... I've heard some nasty stories... however I've also heard some good. Just a thought mind u.

I have looked back and the Honk Kong boys I used are www.urphoto.com

I had a good experience with them, but that does not of course guarante you will! But I'm sure they are a very professional lot, they have thousands of happy eBay customers.

Cheap Panohead: http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm

Inexpensive but has stability and camera compatibility issues though. Here's a review: http://www.tawbaware.com/panosaurus_review.htm

I've never used it so I can't really give my personal opinion.

Hi if you want to save even more money and have some pano / technical experience, make one yourself. we have a couple of agnos style rotators which are quite heavy so I made a light version for travelling for less that 5 which does a very good job. Just keep in mind the 'nodal point' when designing your pano head. BTW here are some panos we took using the home made version. CLICK HERE

Look on Ebay. I bought this full camera system for 500.00 total. The only think it did not include was a tripod and carrying case. Just got it today in the mail and I can not believe what a good deal this was. Just keep looking, I see deals on Ebay all the time.
