believe CP dun carry Sigma... AP or MS Color would be a better bet. dunno the price but can always get an e-quote from them before going down.

You can get it at Alan Photo Trading, located at the first floor of Sim Lim Square. Price is about $1,550 (+/-) incl. GST. Dun forget to factor in the cost of a UV filter (86mm type) to protect your front element. The filter costs about $90. Pricy but a necessary buy.

Fyi, CP does not carry the Sigma line of lenses.
