Default were to buy Tiffen lenses?

Hi,
I live in Europe and can't seem to find any dealers for Tiffen lenses. Can anyone recommend a serious webshop that ships to Europe?

Best regards
Borch

Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't B&H ship anywhere?

Try:

They sell Tiffen lenes and ship to Europe.

I have purched from them recently and they shipped the products quickly and properly.

One more question dear people,

I'm really unsure whether I should buy a tele converter or a wide converter. I love taking pictures in mountains and a lot of landscape pictures. I dont want to spend to much money on both. Does someone have experience on what they use the most?

cheers

I find that with the Tele-photo lens, since I have to use nearly full optical zoom to avoid vignetting, that it is not a very useful lens for landscapes.

To do landscapes I remove the lens/adapter as one piece (very quick and easy to do), and just use the original lens; with or without optical zoom as needed.

If you find that the built-in lens does not give you a wide enough field of view, then I guess you may want to consider a wide-angle lens.

I have no experience with them on this camera, therefore, no advice to offer.
