Nikon 17-55mm

[Dennis]

Any firm idea when this lens will hit Singapore shore?.
I have an itch to try it out and eventually.....

[espn]

Ahem... Buy buy buy!!!

I believe TCW has stock, the stock should be reaching the shops soon

[offspring]

TCW has only 1 unit - at $2800.

I think steet price should be 2700-2800.

Too ex, would rather buy grey from US/HK. Anyone doing MO?

[Dennis]

Yep TCW is too x, expecting much lower than that. No one seems to know if the next shipment of Nikkor will include this lens ??.

[espn]

I believe it's already arrived, but Nikon's in the midst of shifting warehouses, so maybe the stock is delayed to shops

[Dennis]

Mmm so that is good news, it means it will be at shops on the next shipment and yes I do know that Nikon is shifting warehouse as my Micro Nikon 105 is also delayed. Oh just realised that is not good for pocket !!

Dennis, 17-55, 105 micro, how about the 105 DC as well? And maybe a 300/2.8...and...

Wah I known of your buy buy thing already, tele will not temp me as I already have the 70-200 VR as for wide angles nothing beats the 10.5mm fisheye. Portrait is also not my considerations although I would like to try.

Shucks!!

Alright, who in the Nikon council exposed me, come on, out with it, I shall mete the ultimate punishment on you ... come on.

Dennis, there's still 35/2, 50/1.2, 85/1.4, 105....180/2 and many more portraits.. maybe we should drop by CP?

[KNIGHT ONG]

Hmmm ,,, actually consider this lens but the $$$ too high IMO for a G lens, wud rather prefers the 17-35F2.8 and at a lower price for this ..

No no very dangerous I heard about Beachboy....(sorry hope you don't mind me mentioning your nick). I have too many lens too little time. Can survive with the lens that I have already.

For me no problem with DX lens as I don't think I will ever go into film again and FF is not in the foreseeable future. The extra 20mm is tempting.

It is price gouging. The expected price is $2.2 to $2.3k.
