Actually I really don't have any item in mind to buy.
But since I'll be there, then don't waste the opportunity.

Stanley Road. Avoid shops along Nathan Road.

well do take note that tin cheung has shifted...PM me for the new address. went there in May and found a demolished building instead! haha

B+W filters are dirt cheap, and so are most lenses. domke bags are cheaper than sg too by 15-25%.

I used to buy from Tin Cheung! Where is it located now?

tazzi · 31st July 2007

Is there international warranty for the speedlite purchased there?

Russ · 31st July 2007

580 EX II = SGD 660 in HK. Only $50-60 cheaper and most of that is GST.

btw B+W filters are not that cheap... 77mm B+W MRC cost close to $110 after conversion if I remember correctly. So it is not really "dirt cheap". I am not sure how much CP selling now though.

after turning left from nathan road into canarvon road, about 3 shops before tin cheung is this bakery. must try the pastries there, really good. satisfied already than go over and buy your photo gear.

weekh · 31st July 2007

BTW, seems that prices not much diff from Singaproe nowadays.... the 16-35mm MK II is about the same price as what OP is selling.

BTW, Take the MTR to TST Station and get out at Exit D (D2 to be more specific). Anyway, the direction board will tell you Carnavon Rd. It's just around the corner (left) from the station Exit D2.

You may want to note that there are a couple of exits stating Carnavon Rd.. you just have to remember D2.. you won't be wrong. Once you come out, walk straight abit and turn left. Enjoy
