You can try John 3:16 at Funan Centre 3rd floor. They carry Sigma lenses and their services are high-class! Approach Samual, he has very good product knowledge and usually gives very good price.

Happy shopping!

Alternatively, you can also try Alan Photo of Sim Lim Square ground floor. You can request for an e-quote from them through their website to check out prices.

Fotoguide is apparently the main dealer for Sigma. Notice that you used the plural...buying more than 1 Sigma lens?

I generally don't like the feel of Sigma lenses, and if you are a Nikon user, the focussing ring/zoom ring are all the "wrong way round".

I'd suggest Tokina instead. Nevertheless, you can try John 3:16 or Foto Guide for Sigma stuff.

well i'm considering 2 lens in general, cos the Nikkor equiv. is too expensive for me...

- 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX
- 70-200mm f/2.8 EX

anyone know how much these would cost? or anyone with a second hand one to sell? my budget is not much so that's why i'm considering thrid party lenses...

I am not sure how much the Sigma 17-35 costs, but as far as the 70-200/2.8 is concerned, you can get the original Nikkor AF 80-200mm f/2.8D ED for just a bit more. And that's a better value.

i'm using a nikon F90x, so i guess i should be looking at the HSM model...

I've only seen the HSM versions in Singapore for the 100-300, 70-200; actually, the sigma website implies that theres no other version for the Nikon.
