Help: Where to buy Sony 11-18mm in Singapore

[rickevertsz]

Hi,

I'll be in Singapore for a day in early April and want to buy a Sony 11-18mm lens. Can anyone suggest a store that might stock one? I've searched in Google but have come up empty. I'd also be interested in a KM-mount Sigma 10-20mm lens, but that's my second preference.

I'm new to this forum and live in Australia, but I hope to contribute something useful soon

Thanks in advance,

-Rick

Equipment:
KM5D (love it)
Tamron 18-200mm (very slow focusing, but otherwise ok, I suppose)
KM 18-70mm (never use it, because I try to avoid switching lenses; mostly use Tamron)
Sony 50mm f1.4 (love it)
KM 3600HS(D) flash (works fine; wish it swivelled to bounce in portrait mode)

The sigma you may be able to get at John 3:16. The Sony lens is a bit tougher, and honestly not worth buying here since SG has some of the highest prices in the world for Sony lenses. You're better off ordering it from amazon or any other of the big us retailers. It'll be MUCH cheaper.

You can try this shop, http://www.mscolor.com.sg/. Can e-mail them and ask for quote, if price is ok they need a few days to get it. Their price has always been reasonable. For SONY lens price, it's true that Singapore price is not that competitive, cause it's controlled by $ONY.

Thanks to you both. The going rate in Singapore seems to be a little under S$1400. That's about what we pay in Australia. I guess I'll wait until I fly to the US in June. They're a LOT cheaper there!

Funny how all the prices seem to have jumped since the "$ony" label was put on KM kit
