Where to buy the set of 3 kenko extension tubes?

[redonnemoi]

Hi guys

I think I got cheated by 2 camera sales companies:

I purchased a Kenko extension tube set of 3 from Tri State Camera, and I then got a call from the company the next day asking if I want to substitute another extension tube for the one I ordered, the guy said the manual focus tube I requested would not fit on my Canon XTI body, so he substituted the Auto focus tube instead. When I received my extension tube in the mail, I only got ONE extension tube that was ultra long. I just realized this mistake today (my order is 4 months old), I am going to try to fix it.

I purchased a 11-18 Tamron DiII lens, from Preferred Photo, and the camera salesman emailed me the next day asking whether or not I want to buy a set of two UV and Polarizing filters for the lens, and he also asked me to substitute the American version of the lens, instead of the Japanese one I requested (where on the website did it say the lens was Japanese??) I had to be rather rude with him to force him to mail me just the lens, since I already have a polarizing filter (the only one in my collection).

so : my question is : who are the reputable dealers I can buy from next time, so I don't have to deal with this nonsense. It would be nice if the dealers were fairly cheap too :thumbsup:

thanks guys

Sounds like the classic bait and switch companies that are out there. About the only two companies I deal with for camera gear are B&H, and Adorama. Both are easy to deal with, and give you a fair price, and very good customer service.

Bought mine on ebay as it was the best price I could find. Don't remember the outfit but had no problems.

If you ;look just above where you are reading this you will see something that says RECOMMENDED SITES AND SITES TO AVOID. I would suggest starting there. I have compiled a few lists and some helpful information that might do you some good, Jeff
