    Suggestions for sites that sell used photographic equipment?

    Evening all,
    I'm currently after a Canon 1.4x Extender for my 70-200 f/4L. I've checked Park Cameras and LCE to no avail (PC have a 2x for a reasonable price, but I'd lose AF on my 60D), but am wondering whether there are any other sites I should be checking (regardless of whether they currently have one in stock - just to monitor)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ray

    Go to your newsagents and buy a copy of Amateur Photographer, there are always a bunch of adverts in the back with lists of used equipment. They might not be completely up to date stock wise, but at least you will have their web addresses and phone numbers

    Ffordes Photographic are good, I've used them in the past. http://www.ffordes.com/

    Pretty active group over there, but make sure you obey the selling rules, a little different to other forums etc.
    Lots of stuff though, where I recently got my first camera

    Re: Suggestions for sites that sell used photographic equipment?

    Thanks for the links guys - having seen a some new Kenko DGX Pro 300s for approx £120, that's perhaps looking like the best bet at the moment.
    I've heard some compatibility issues with the Sigma 1.4x TC (not working on non-Sigma lenses), and although I've seen the odd used Canon 1.4x II TC go for £150, they seem to be few and far between!
    Once again, thank you for the advice though.
    Best Regards

    Re: Suggestions for sites that sell used photographic equipment?

    forum.photographers.co.uk is reasonably friendly and has a buy/sell section. I've bought Canon L-lenses, printer paper & studio flash kits from users there at some insane prices (studios going out of business etc.). As with all peer-to-peer type sales forums though, be careful with whom you deal. Try and meet in person or at least talk over the phone. If they're a legit business that is going out of business google their phone number etc.

    As a really happy user of a Kenko dg 300 pro I have to say I would go for one of the latest Kenko's in a heartbeat.

    I know they don't have the cachet of a Canon but they do the job and do it well, that should be the most important element in any buying decision IMHO.
