Now, Japanese Yen is extremely high so, Singapore is probably cheaper.

100¥ = 1.58$S

Yes, as what other as mentioned...
YEN is super strong now...and SIN $ is getting weak now...

So still better to get it in SG....

For the Speedlight 580EX II is cost abt Yen58000.
after convert to SIN do you think is still cheap??
