Angry any where else I can find sigma lens other than Alan?

I'm looking for APO macro super II 70-300mm. Cathay is not selling any sigma lens, several other just vender a few EX lens...

BTW
last saturday by chance asked Song Brother in simlim whether they got sigma lens, the shopkeepers showed me one piece and lied blatantly in my face asking for $900(the lens worth $310). I pointed out that my friend get one from Alan @$320 a few days ago, then these SOB said the box and the lens inside my friend got might be different.
can't believe a shop conducting business that way can still survive, and they are expanding! those disgraceful filthy midgets, I hope I never see their disgusting faces again in my life!

Default how much is MS selling that lens?

hi, how much is MS selling that lens?

btw, I found this lens is selling much cheaper in china(shanghai, havn't check hongkong). especially considering the strong sing dollar these day. just around 240~250 sing dollars.

You can check with Kenghor when he conduct another mass order from HK. I bought a Sigma 180 F3.5 from him and it's great .

Hey, talking bout this lens. I had my eyes on this baby too. Yup think your fren got it at the price i was offered. Wanted to buy but was too poor at the point of time. Read plenty of reviews on this one and they were quite positive.

I feel that across the board the prices of lens increases, after comparing the prices at the consumer and services forum and equotes from CP.

Maybe you should ask him how much he earn from selling this lens. if they said they earn a few buck as the cost is high for this lens. Then maybe you can offer to sell them these lens at $350 (which you will buy from AP and then sell to them) . haha. I also encounter similar situation before at Song Brother.

Why don't you get a FT to complain to the Singapore Tourism Board? They might be keen for a listing.
