my turn to accidentally place an order...

[jpsimon]

...so i accidentally went to the b & h website and ordered a 17-40L...

as others have concluded, these types of accidents... kick ass

:shock: :D

[tpinchback]

great choice, wish i could afford it!

[jpsimon]

i love financial aid/loan money that i have to pay back in the future :shock: :D

I'm at the moment teatering on the brink of ordering a 70-200 f2.8L from B&H, the way the £ is against the $ means I'd save a whole lot over the UK price....now if I accidently hit that 'confirm order' button!!

[imagesense]

I really like my 17-40. It's a very useful lens. I'm still thinking about a 24-70L but I'm not sure I need it. I have a 50 1.8, 85 1.8, and 70-200 2.8L so I'm pretty well covered. If I get anything else it'll probably be a second 20D body for one of the other lenses. (using the Digital rebel as backup now) Maybe I'll accidentally order one as a Christmas present but forget and put in my own address for shipping....yeah that's it.

Darn! I hit that 'place your order' button & my 70-200L is in the system along with a filter & a Sandisk Firewire CF reader! :D

With the exchange rate as it is the whole lot comes to just under £650, saving a few hundred pounds on the UK price! I'll have a bit of import duty to pay but still it's a great saving (we don't have VAT here in the Channel Islands which is even better :))

[jpsimon]

oh i could use a firewire card reader. how much do they cost?

[paulhillion]

$69 if my memory serves me correctly. I've been meaning to get one for ages, if like me you use a minimum of 1gb cards & you come back home with 3 or 4 full cards having that extra bit of speed makes a lot of difference.

I got a USB2 one for around $20 which blew me away...Its just as fast as firewire 400.

Check out ebay

Lou, I have a pic that might convince you to get a 24-70...that is what this pic I'm thinking of was shot with on a 10D. I absolutely can't get enough of the 24-70 lens. It would be no accident if you ordered one.

[CyberDyneSystems]

I made this same mistake nearly a year ago.... accidently ordered this lens.... from B&H no less... So you are not alone. :lol:

[Jon]

. . . and I'm accidentally on their website right now. Haven't accidentally clicked too many buttons yet though ;{)#

[cmM]

LOL. Awesome!
I just spend a couple grand at B&H today... it was no accident though 8)

[Jon]

Whew! Closed the window without buying anything. It was close, though!

[Canuck]

Can we make a support group for B&H accidental buyers anyomous? Well the anoymous is out the window as our user names are on it. Um...the support group idea still works. :) :evil:

[alan sh]

So whats the B&H web site ? Are they really that good ? And, if you order stuff from the UK, what happens if it goes wrong ?

[mchristsen]

Between the website on my screen and the huge a$$ catalog/BH-Encyclopedia that arrived yesterday, I think I am going to need therapy through these holidays!

They are awesome, when I was living in the UK, I got stuff in about 5 days. I never had a problem.

B&H can be found at www.bhphotovideo.com and I have spent stupid money with them.

If it goes pear-shaped, Idunno, never had that problem.

Hey I got one of those too! First they sent me the little magazine, next day BOOM 300 page 8.5X11 catalog.

[MDJAK]

Hello, Everybody, my name is Mark and I'm a B&H addict. I've tried and tried but I just can't quit. I think it has to do with the fact that even though I'm not a religious person, B&H is my temple. I must go there and pray every now and then. And I only live and hour away. Better yet, I only work a half hour away.

Help me, room.

[flyfishnj]

Hi Mark

Lol, I have gotten a few of those huge magazines from them... pretty soon my garbage collection fee will increase from all taht added weight x_x

Have you ever browsed through their 820 page Pro Lighting catalog? It is amazing, I never knew that much lighting equipment existed.

[mattchase]

I recently accidentally bought the 17-40 L.

Than the 400 5.6 L.

Now I'm trying really hard not to accidentally buy a couple of new tripods.

Darn B&H!! They need to get their streets fixed, I keep having too many accidents there!
