It is in stock at 17photo.comno...its not even released in US yet. I think only Japan has it at the moment.
My colleague in Japan now but horrors! I only remembered when he flew off and now I can't reach him...sigh...
Another alternative is the Tamron version.. Parisilk at Holland Village has it. I think they are selling at $690 with GST
I emailed Shiro about when will the Pentax 18-250 be available in SG, got no reply. Called them but the phone was always directing my call to the voice mail (I am from Mauritius & doubt they will call me back)Nice finding, John. Hopefully it'd be here in SG sooon
So if you are not brand conscious then tammy is the same and cheaper too. Oh and the lens is made in japan like the tammy.
Well I don't really know cause i'm not comparing it with the tammy.
definitely my next lense
