walterh Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hello as much as I appreciate the frequent recommendation for this book - I just hate to go and pay via paypal. The other thing is that I pay as much for the book for shipment to Germany and customs that I wonder if: 1) Just by chance - is there anybody in the EU who has a copy he does not need anymore (got a C-brand camera instead?) or just staying in the US and coming back soon and possibly could bring a copy? 2) Is there any alternative here in the EU for a book that comes close to Hogan's book? I get more things to work by trial end error than by reading the f_ﾧ$%&ﾧ$ manual :-) Cheers Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy a. Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think you might be able to download it? Email Thom or check his website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 As far as I know Thom ships them on a CD. You can look on the auction site for used copies if that makes a difference. The D70s manual only weighs in at about 40mb so it could easily be made available by ftp download. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterh Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Well on his website he clearly states that download is not available at this time. That would be my solution otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joseph_smith3 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Walter, the book is worth it. We live in an international commercial world these days. There must be some easy way for you to get the book thru the mail. At least you can pay for it thru payPal! I just mailed a friend of mine a CD-Rom to Italy for $3.35. The same CD rom mailed to another friend in Nevada cost $1.11. How much did you pay for the D 200? Come on Walter. Joe Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterh Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Joseph shipping and tax will cost more than the book. Its not the amount its the fact that I pay more for getting it here than for the book :-) Besides I am reluctant to go through paypal. Besides it will take at least 4 weeks - if someone in the EU sends it I will have it in 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelchristensen Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 You might try ebay, where I got my copy ... and with my film cameras trial and error was the way I preferred, but with the d200, in trial and error mode you'll be working on that for long after Nikon discontinues this body ... Seriously, there is so much to learn on pro-level bodies and a lot you can set which after you give it some thought, you'd probably not set... that said, Thom's book was about $30 and worth every penny. Also there are a couple of CDs you can get at the photo stores on the D200 but they don't tell you what Thom tels you. BTW Thom's ebook on the D200 is about 700+ pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_mitchell7 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The odds that German customs will stop it very low as they aren't interested in low valued items. Anyway it will be just an envelope with a CD, not a big box. The cost to ship it Air Mail to Germany is also very low. I know, I lived there for over 20 years.
