Where to buy a Nikon 24mm

[SnapperUK]

Hi,

Can anyone recomend a store that will have a Nikon 24mm f/1.4 in stock I can buy? Preferably looking for Houston, DFW, Austin and anywhere West TX.

Tried Precision Cameras in Austin, but they don't seem to stock one. A store in Houston would be perfect, even if I have to email them to get one in stock.

Cheers
Ben

Ben you can also try some of the big mail order places (Adorama, B&H) and have them overnight to your hotel. I have done this several times. You can also have them ship via Fedex and have them hold for pickup at a Fedex locatioin.

Enjoy that lens!

Is this better? However, way off topic. Amazon has one, correction-they have 9, if you have $2k+.

Hi y'all,

Thanks for all the replies. I'm in the UK and don't fancy spending a fortune on international calls late at night! I have tried googling for local stores, but unless you have some local knowledge already it's a drag sifting out the wheat from the chaff. I will have a look at the links some of you suggested.

I need to buy face to face in a store as I won't know where i will be staying so getting a lens shipped isn't an option.

Cheers
Ben

EDIT: I also tried HCE and they don't seem to list stock either. Not to worry, ill call them when i get into Houston.

You might try email. Also, any store should be able to get the lens in a few days.
Amazon can overnight the lens to a street address. Surely you will know where you are going to be for 24 hours.
Good luck! Awesome lens.

In Dallas try Competitive Cameras - Serving the Dallas, Plano, Arlington, & Ft. Worth Texas Area Metroplex.

They seem to have stuff when no one else does.

If you call ahead of time, I am sure Ramsey can have one waiting.
