KM AF 18-200 DT available!

pai · 26th November 2005

good news for those who have been waiting for this lens...

i was at cathay, asking about the tamron 18-200. was quoted $670, but told that they had no stock, have to order in. to my surprise though, salesman suggested that i buy the KM version instead. i didn't even realise can buy in sg already...

price quoted was $745 including gst. seems a little steep. maybe the regulars can get a better price?

(have posted this in the lens price thread)

dun ask me what's the difference between the km version and the tamron version hor... i only know colour different :P

There's no special price for regulars vs non -regulars, at least not that I know of. Its e-quote price vs non e-quote price.

U get a good discount via e-quote... just print the email and bring it along when u buy the lens...

Anyone knows what is the rationale behind the cheaper price via e-quotes? Does it mean if we don't bring down the email, we will not get at that price?

It's probably to attract serious hobbyists who would take the trouble to find the item required via the internet...
