I think you can get better prices in Lucky Plaza or Sim Lim if you want to bargain. I just cant be bothered and got most of my stuffs from the showroom.

I tried a Vitacon Wide Angle 0.5x too which is very very cheap and comes with attached Macro Lens, but only the center of the lens is in focus the edges of it is out of focus, so in the end I returned it and get the Sony one.
As with all Sony products, they work better with their own Sony accessories than other brands, which is kind of bummer.
I dont think Ill be buying anymore accessories, coz I already filled up my case with that. Everything except the Tripod and the Ring Flash (which I rarely use except for macro work in the office) fits neatly in the case, when Im travelling (which I like to do alot).
