wow... thanks... thinking to get some lenses... that is why I am asking about this... usually which country that sell lenses cheaper thatn Singapore? for 3rd party or for N/C brand?
Try Indonesia and Hongkong.
Sigma is cheap in Japan.
Samyang is cheap in Korea.
Canon is cheap in HK.
I don't find lenses in US cheap. Unless you are buying in bulk or big ticket items, the exchange rate only makes marginal difference. Consider shipping and custom duties if you are shipping and not flying there to buy.
Wow... that is nice... is the warranty is 1 year international?Erm... Actually Sigma not that cheap in Japan now. After exchange rate, the Sigma 50-150mm cost about the same or more than in Singapore.
Sigma 50mm f/1.4 is cheap in Korea though. Same price as a second hand one in Singapore.
I thought that Tamron cheap at US... If i need lenses from US, I am planning to ask my cousin help so no custom and shipping I guess....Sigma is cheap in Japan.

Yeah, just check with my contact in japan. Everything in Japan is expensive now. Edited my earlier post. What's the price of the 50f1.4 in Korea. I bought mine from Japan at ~S$750 back in July.
Due to the falling dollar...BBB. You can do some comparisons online and roughly gauge the savings you get.

The Sigma 50mm is about $650 in Korea. Got it in April. Now might be slightly higher since the Won seems to be recovering somewhat.
Not sure about warranty, but Sigma Singapore will do the calibration for free.
