MC-E or P7 availability ?

videoman · Aug 9, 2009

I would like to purchase 6 or more MC-E's or SSC-p7's from the same supplier but the ones I came across on the net usually have only 2 in stock or that they are on order or that the availability is in a month or so.. etc. etc.. I thought that these are the HOT items and should be available immediately. I prefer a US supplier if possible. Must be willing to ship within a week and has stock. Does this supplier exist??

Try Photonfanatic on the CPF Marketplace here for P7's:

Britelumens on CPF is in Singapore but he ships promptly. It looks like he might be out of P7's now though. I get orders within 10 days. He also has IMO the best maglite P7 heatsinks.

I need a supplier (wholesale, distributer, store) that stocks enough of each type so that if for example I need 50 of neutral whites at the highest flux and bin number, there won't be a monthly delay to receive them.I might order 23 in one week and 16 the following week with no stock on hand issues.I don't mind paying a premium price but availability and fast shipping is what I need. Would there be any store or outlet that stocks enough of them? I hear that Deal Express is awfully slow and that they might not be consistent in their stocks.

For P7s, try locating a distributor on SSC's website.
