Takes all the meaning of a BLF Special Edition when there are now thousands of them and anyone can have them. Not a collectors item any more. That's the bad part to me. Same with the D80, which will probably follow suit.
Whatcha mean? Am I not going to be able to sell my BLF light collection in ten years and retire? That's it, there going to the grave with me. I know I have originals even if no on else does.
Ah, the English, she is the language of mystery, of multiple meanings, of ambiguity, of deception.
> a good deal of
Could mean they’re making lots and lots of them,
hang on and they’ll drop in price to $9.88 by summer, or
could mean they’re now selling a good bargain price.
I would think that it makes it more special that everybody wants what we have. :) I remember when Kronos said 1000 units only that people wanted more.
On the flip-side...if Kronos is saying caveat emptor and Neal is saying that it is not from BG or EE...then....I would not touch it with a 10' pole. Banggood has some available and they are still a decent price for those that feel they missed the boat. Besides..we need to support those that support us. Banggood is very receptive to working with us and our ideas and making them become real.
Very good point. I missed out on the GB and was actually thinking about ordering one from T-mart. Maybe I should just stick with Banggood for the light or get the host and DIY the rest once everything gets worked out with the host packaging/missing parts issues…
I don’t think Eagle Eye has anything to do with it. The eagle eye web site has shut down and has been that way for a couple of weeks. That suggests they are no longer in business. I think the BLF special editions were clones of the X6. These maybe clones of clones, who knows.
EE is still in business. They tried to bring their site back online because of the X6 but many complained about the lack of english. I imagine they are working on it again.
They may still be in business but it is not necessary to take a website down to improve or translate it into another language, you simply leave the original up while working on the new version, once complete upload the changes to the server or transfer the url to the new page, it takes only minutes.
