Looking for CF Card adaptor

[liquid_nomad]

Hi all,

I am trying to find a CF Memory Card adaptor (to slip in an Xd card to use in a CF device). Appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

PS Will need to buy it via credit card and have it sent to Malaysia.

It appears that Fuji makes one. Here is a site that has them. I would assume a Fuji dealer near you should be able to order one. I did a search for "xd to CF adapter"

Thanks Herman. I have emailed them for details on shipping. Their quoted price is 270 UK Pounds, pre shipping. Does this sound about right? Cheers.

I have no clue on the quality, price or value of the adapter. I also have no knowledge of the on line vendor so buyer be ware. I just did a quick search and that was the best looking site I found. At least they had a picture of the item and identified that it was made by Fuji. My camera takes both so I use which ever I have.

Wow, that sounds pretty expensive. Would it not be cheaper to buy a CF card?

Careful. When I looked at these things for SD cards, the resulting assembly was bigger than a CF card (as shown) so I couldn't close the door. Basically not usable for me.

Not exactly...the price on the link herman provided is $45UK..:shakehead

Try www.bhphotovideo.com, they ship internationally. Something that small could probably go in a padded envelope.

I could use one too but not at that price.
Heck, I had a hard enough time just finding a USB > xD card reader that worked.
Got a heck of a deal on my Fuji camera but all my stuff is either CF or SD.
pain in the butt...

My apologies. THe price is UK Pounds 45.00. MY typo included the exchange from UK to MYR. Thanks all for the various tips and pointers. L-N.

I actually use the same set up as herman, which is theOly C-5050, PT-015, Inon D180,with Epoque WA & Close up wet attachments but I recently bought an Oly 310, basically a point & shoot and this uses only an Xd card.

I have an Epson P2000 storage device to download my pix at the end of the day and this does not have a slot for Xd card, hence the looking around.

Thanks all.
