Try Man Shing or Wing Shing in Mongkok. They have lots of Nikon & Canon lenses. Both owned by same person so prices are the same.

When I was there in November last year, the lenses are still cheaper than SG. I was scouting for the 50mm L and prices in SG varied from $2000 (grey) to $2300 while the shops there typically go for <$1900. So I think it is still worth checking out.

Just back from a short trip in Hong Kong, the camera shops Man Shing and Wing Shing are still ok, prices are pasted on the display window and everyone will get the same price. (I happen to know a friend who knows the boss there so I got a small discount from their display price, not much anyway)
Currently the S$ HK$ exchange rate is not so good so the price may not seem attractive.

Ever since Canon Singapore dropped their RRP late last year, the price gap between Singapore and Hong Kong has gotten a lot smaller. In some cases, people are reporting that the HK price is actually higher than Singapore (perhaps due to exchange rate fluctuation ). So, my advice will be to do your home work before hand and know what is the resonable street price in Singapore. If the difference is not that much, I would suggest you buy from Singapore since with HK purchases, you might not have enough time to rectify the problems you might have with the product unless you are planning to stay in HK for a long time...
