Default Where to buy alpha-mount stuff?

Hi Guys,

I am planning to get A300 when it comes out.
But is there a specific reliable store that you guys go to, that can offer good price?

Especially for third party lenses for alpha mount, and used minolta lenses.
I haven't been able to find a store in Singapore that carries a lot of those.

Good choice on the A300/350 ! There are quite a number of good places to buy A mount products . First of all , we have 3 Alpha Pro shops in singapore . MS , CP & MP . Then there are a few other shops that sells 3rd party lenses around town .

The marketplace section on this forum is good. A lot of us also just order from abroad.

I may be able to find a 100-300... but not the D version... personally prefer the older one...
PM me your budget and I see if I can get it for you...

Hmm ... have noticed that for DSLR ... the body and the kit prices are the only ones possible to be discounted during certain events (like IT shows), promotions, etc. Accessories like lenses and flash are nearly always RRP, so best to get from shops like MS or CP where at least you get some discount.

Or better still from The Oracle, CS B&S or look overseas!
