i am going to order a domke f6 from bhphoto. cathay ran out of f4 and f3/j3 is too small for me.

Actually, decided to order domke F-804 from bhphoto. As well. :)
 

Hi I saw that some of you got your Domke bags from online stores like ebay etc. May I know do you all have any recommended online stores whereby I could go check it out? Better to learn from the pros and experts here. Thanks in advance & wish you all a nice weekend!

i dun know how it compares, but bhphoto uses more expensive shipping rite? i bought from an ebay seller called photococan three times alr...have to wait about 2 weeks though...but definitely cheaper than cathay in singapore...and they use usps shipping....
 

Where will be the recommended place to buy the Billingham Hadley Pro? How much will the model cost?
 

My first Domke last me for 10 over years. The second Domke I own already been 4-5 years & still look great.:thumbsup:
 

i think 445 series costs around S$570+ the last time i asked...

so 550 or 555 will gonna hit close to S$700? painful. haha

Almost cost S$732.16614 with shipping from B&H for the 550.:sweat:

Singapore cheaper?
 

it's (the 555) 208 pounds on warehouseexpress

if you have a friend in the uk, perhaps you could ask him to bring it back for you when he next visits

with current exchagne rates around 2.7, that's 561. they don't ship overseas though. most good uk sites don't ship overseas. :sweat:
 

Thanks for sharing tanjonhan. But I realised that the ebay store you mentioned don't carry the full range of Domke bags so some models they don't have. And you are right, it seems bhphoto the shipping charges are pretty high.

Does anyone has any further recommendations on where is a good online place to get Domke bags?

As for those getting Billingham from UK, not sure if can use vPost like US and Japan whereby they can forward to a local address there then from there ship to Singapore?
 

Bro, how much they quoted you?

B&H price and shipping cost are pretty standard. For Domke F-804, USD $120 and I normally used UPS to ship back with is USD $50~. The reason why I like B&H is their availability of the items. :)

Thanks! Gearing towards either a 804 or Packington now.. just need to know if Packington can fit my gear of
1. Dell 620 (14" screen - Length I believe is about 33cm)
2. K200D + DA Limited 35mm f2.8 Macro
3. K20D + DA Limited 70mm f2.4

That'll be all I need in my bag...and I am pretty sure F-804 would fit all that, but just wanted an option if Packington's going to work as well.

Get it from Adorama. I just got my Domke J1 from them. Free shipping to vpost usa, just pay for the shipping from vpost usa to sg.
 

Thanks noob777! May I know what's the shipment cost via vpost back to Singapore? Thanks.
 

Just got the 335 (second hand)! Now I need to replace the inserts - does mr. chan have them for sale?
 

I thought Billingham has a life-time warranty on the bag. Check with Mr. Chan if you can get the inserts replace FOC from him. If not, send an email to Billingham UK and see if they are willing to replace them FOC. I recall someone in CS has done this before.

Wow, for real? The inserts I got have 'disintegrated' and there is a large amount of dust-like residue at the base.

As for Mr Chan, I'll have to do a search on CS to find out more about him. Otherwise I'll see to emailing Billingham UK. Thanks so much for the heads up!
 

From one of the CSer, IIRC he said that Mr. Billingham actually sent him the replacement FOC and indicated that they will be changing the material in the inserts to cater for tropical weather in their future products.

Here is Mr. Chan's contact. He is quite a nice guy and quite accommodating. However, he might not be in the position to give you FOC inserts replacement.

OK. I've found the link, but it happened in 2004.

Many, many thanks! I'll get in touch asap, instead of lingering over the defect.
