Are there any cheap source for XML T6 ?
Dinodirect has T6 for 4.69$ (this was 3.69 before. now price increased)
Problem is DD take age to deliver…

I buy at fasttech now . $4.40 after 10% coupon GOTECH (until 15Dec), or $4.37 apiece if buying 3.

I haven't gotten mine yet, ordered only last week, so I can't confirm the quality.

If they get a hold of XM-L U2’s or U3’s, they’d be selling like hot cakes!

Who really buys hot cakes? Nobody eats them hot, makes me wonder where the saying comes from...
Anyhow, I sure hope fasttech will carry U2 & U3 soon. And NOT just relabel T6 and sell them at higher price (like a certain dino-something).

Doh! DD’s U2’s are renamed T6’s?
Some one stop me before I kill DD!

Pan-cakes don’t count :bigsmile:
And yes, viffer got U2 from DD that were actually T6. Even recycled.
As I said here Today arrived emitters after 1 month & 12 days.

Soldering & Alignment is ok but some flux residue or other particles in dome.

Yeah, but the good thing with DD is that you can normally get good resolution without resorting to PP.
I should be getting one soon, ordered around a month ago. Probably gonna test run the “U2” in series with a T6 and snap a shot with my camera’s lowest exposure, that should tell if I have the same fate as viffer.
