Hi everyone,

Does anybody know of a Peleng supplier in the UK? As Im looking to buy a Peleng 8mm fisheye for my 350d.

I have seen loads of them on ebay, but they all need to be shipped from Russia, which Im a bit sceptical about to say the least.

If there is no hope of getting one of these lenses in UK then does anyone have any experiences with any of the ebay sellers?

Many thanks in advance,

Tom

I ordered my Peleng fisheye for my EOS 5D 2 weeks ago from rugift.com. I've heard that they are reliable deliverer and I'm happy to tell you more when I get my lense in about two weeks... :lol: It feels like waiting for the christmas evening... Just can't wait to it! And I'm from Finland, where we don't trust any russians... :rolleyes:

Yesh! I got my peleng on Monday 12.2. It took only 2 weeks and 3 days from Rugift.com. The package was "russian way" but firm. No complains here! :D And at least it's a new lense straight from the factory package with canon eos mount installed. The mount itself is quite tight on my eos 5D, but it sure doesn't fall down! I had trouble getting the lense off of my camera at first, but with a little force it comes off. :confused: And the shots are awesome! :) The total cost was €332,- so it wasn't a bad deal!

fantastic, thanks Labai,

I was a bit sceptical about getting it from russia.

then I got offered one from a fella here in the UK, but I turned it down as Id brought a fisheye adapter, to see if I would ever really use a fisheye.

Found out the answer is yes I would use one! Now I miised my chance to get one from this country. I feel like a spud. So its off to the russians I go.

Ciao!
