Where is this Foto Guide (Cathay Photo)? Thought the Fujifilm 1.5x telephoto conversion lens is about $200 too? Or is this another model?

Who did you talked to at MS color? I spoke to this balding guy (think is called Jason). I feel his quote is a little high leh... Prefer to deal with Florence, but she wasn't around. Said she's at the Fujifilm booth at Singapore Expo for tomorrow's PC Show 2002.

What time were you at MS Color? I was there just now about 7.30 too buying the IBM Microdrive. Maybe we ran into each other without knowing..

I was there ard 8.30 pm. you got the microdrive for $390?

I've been to the shop many times and Jason recognises me, especially after getting the camera on Monday

[DanielG]

Yes I got it for $390. Florence quoted me that last Sunday when they don't have stock.

So Jason don't recognise me quote me another $50 more for the Wide-angle conversion lens... so ridiculous.

I got my wide-angle lens for $200..... telephoto is cheaper.

[mpenza]

hmm.... just realised that the US prices of the Fujifilm telephoto kit is more expensive than the wide-angle kit. Maybe, Jason quoted me the wrong price?!?!?

[DanielG]

Something is defintely wrong here.... either Jason quote you the wide-angle price wrongly for the telephoto you asked or he try to overcharge me by $50.

But I was told by AP that both lens are $200...

I'm a bit confused...... I paid $200 for the wide-angle and was quoted $170 for the telephoto.

What price did he quote you for the wide angle? $250?

hmm.... shd've gotten the 1.5x lens just now

[DanielG]

Quoted me $220. He may have a misquote. Try calling up and get another quote tomorrow?

oh.... on Monday, they quoted me $220 for the wide-angle converter too. I had to bargain hard to get $200 They showed me the dealer price which was $190.

Interestingly, Alan Photo quoted me $190....... but I didn't get it then

Interesting, I was quoted at MS @ 160 for tele 1.5x, talk him into quoting 198 for wide angle but did not get it in the end.
