Sometimes I wonder why certain parts or accessories should cost so much money. Take for example a lens hood for your camera or lens. Often such a lens hood in terms of construction and materials seem most like a plastic cup without a bottom. However, overnite tracking for a simple hood you pay almost 20 euros. In particular, the original hoods are on the pricey side. Fortunately, there are often next to the original hoods alternatives available. overnite tracking One of the major players in this market is JJC. My experience is that these hoods look as neat and decent look like the original, but at a lower price.
However, it seems to be more beneficial. overnite tracking For example, look around at DealExtreme or ebay.com. The hoods you can buy here, often cost a fraction of the price you will have to pay in the Netherlands overnite tracking for a similar hood. So I was watching a hood for my Fuji X100. The original of the Fuji LH-X100. Currently these costs from the cheapest provider 89.00 euros. The alternative - the LH-JX100 from JJC - is a lot cheaper, but still cost 49.95 euros. A similar hood offered on DealExtreme for 4.65 euros (including free shipping) and a number of providers that can ebay.com also send him for this price. overnite tracking Why the big difference in price? Is it safe to buy such products in Hong Kong? Komen such orders or to? And what about the quality? I have to get these questions answered hood decided to order via ebay.com with a provider in Hong Kong.
The hood I ordered cost me 3.88 euros (including free shipping). The provider of this hood as ebay.com had a good reputation overnite tracking (98.6%). I have also been able to buy this provider through PayPal. This way you can secure payment and you enjoy any sort of buyer protection. The transaction went smoothly. The same day (February 15, 2014) I received a message via e-mail that the hood was sent. It was then patiently wait for the postman.
And the postman came. On March 5, 2014 I received mail from Hong Kong. The shipment had redone 19 days to reach me. In the bubble envelope the "LH-X100. Was located At least that is on the side of the hood. But all really is not. I expect that the real LH-X100 comes in a nice box. And probably the real LH-X100 quality a lot better (at least that you would expect for 89.00 euros). The version I received looks like it's been used for a while. The black paint on the inside of the lens hood is missing in some places. But he does it now, I think. It fits.
So what I can learn from? Eventually you pay for quality. For the hood in the Netherlands you pay disproportionately overnite tracking more than one provider in Hong Kong. But then you'm pretty sure the hood will be neat and undamaged delivered. In addition, you do not usually wait for any 19 days. However, it seems simple to order products in Hong Kong a good alternative. It depends for me a little of how expensive the product is. I want that for 3.88 euros a pretty sure bet. I will be in larger amounts are slightly more cautious. Anyway I'm happy with my LH-X100. Excellent price / quality ratio
