Went there today and got 135/2.8 at TCW. There are some other lens like 80-200/2.8 APO, 20/2.8, 28/2.8, 28-135/4, etc. Saw also a camera body which they say is A700, enquired further, price is less than 2K

I once had a 50mm f/1.4. Sold it.

Kinda regretted it.

$310 is definitely a good deal.

Went to Peninsula Plaza this afternoon hoping to find the workshop that was mentioned. I'm guessing that it wasn't in Peninsula Plaza cos I only saw Alex Photo selling used stuff. Can someone advise where is the 'workshop'?
