Sorry, I don't own one, so can't comment.

What is the exact spec of the $99 75-300mm lens?

Is it AF Zoom 75 - 300mm 1:4.5 (32) - 5.6 D?

This lens was quoted by CP @ $400+ but someone told me the package deal from the fair (or previous fair) was not this particular one.

zcf · 26th November 2005

AFAIK, that's the one, but got both silver & black colour.

OK. I have the same one but bought at a higher price...

For $99, it is a good deal. Moreover, you can easily sell it later at double the price if you don't like it.

Caussway · 26th November 2005

If anyone getting the 75-300mm FOC I can buy it for S$99

Simon4rings · 26th November 2005

Wow, cateye, you managed to wrangle the lens FOC? That's great! Will use you as benchmark. Can pay by credit card?

sulhan · 26th November 2005

Yes ... pay by HN Card and get another 5% off!

As you all know, Audio House already have exact identical offer one week ago .... I told the Harvey Norman guys that they have to give me a better deal than that ..... In fact I asked for another CF-1G, the gave away the lens FOC instead.

You may like to print out the Today Weekend's Audio House ad in todayonline.com to bargain big time!

Good Luck guys.

Actually it is not quite compact .... at full telephoto, it's quite long!
