maybe...:sweat:
ms photo selling at 1350.... I just feel 1200 is kinda high for a 2nd hand lens.

Somewhere else selling 1338 new.... :sweat: Yeah, I know, but if just off waranty then can understand since only one 1 year old... if two years or more yeah, high side for sure.

for those who are Kit's fan... I saw his submission for the Canon "A New Perspective of your city"
You guys might want to submit your own photos too.

Wah! Thanks for the heads up. Definitely a Kit's fan! :heart::heart::heart:

on the sg nikon site the RRP is S$1699. Most local stores will usually be selling at 80% of the RRP which is roughly $1359.
A quick check at amazon.com, it is selling at US$799.95=S$1042
A whole $300 difference.... Just buy a few more lenses with this price difference, the money saved can pay for a trip to us.

shipping to an us address is free....
btw, how long does it need to be used before gst is not considered? For example, you are working there for a few months and bought stuffs. Do you still need to pay gst for these things which you have already been using when you come back to sg?

 

[scubagolfer]

What other dslr related are much cheaper in U.S.

Very subjective one. But once the package is open, and the lens in a camera bag or something, they usually don't bother. But if you have multiple copies of the same lens, that might come under suspect. That is if they even bother to ask you to open up to check. Most of them don't, as they are only looking for contraband cigarettes.

actually they're quite lax (my opinion) nowadays. Seems like they're much more concerned about dangerous items and drugs, cigarettes, etc.

But still.... to try and carry say... 2 or 3 sets of nicely packaged lenses is kinda asking for trouble :bsmilie:
