Better try Cathay or TCW since both are near each other. Alan photo.... if you don't appear to be a 'carrot'
anyshop is cheap if you know how to bargain and you know the street selling price. else you'll just be a "carrot head"Belano said:
Else if your bargaining skills are not that gung-ho you can try CP (Peninsula), MS (AMK) Colours and Lords (Lucky Plaza). There's another one at Shaw I forgot the name.. haven't been there but heard it's honest.
Ok thanks for the recommendations. Perhaps i will try to do some research on the market price and then i ask you guys for opinion? Or anyone know the market price for the following?
1) 55mm Polarising Filter Lens
2) 2.0x Tele Convertor Lens (Olympus/Vitacon)
3) 0.5 Wide Lens

That's correct. DON'T GO SONG BROTHERS!!!
Sales people behave like gangster. Also, I experience that one salesman (at Song Sim Lim) requested to slot in my credit card data BEFORE he's willing to show me the nikon lense I tried to buy from them. At the end, I didn't buy due to some dirt on the glass I saw, and he was so upset to almost want to trap me in the shop. He even tried to use a VERY DIRTY brush to brush away the "dirt" in the lens, hoping it went and away so I would buy it. (Dun even know the basic knowledge of cleaning lenses glasses to sell lense!!!) The lense got dirtier after the dirty brush, thus I decided to leave the shop at once.
Song Brothers price are NOT as cheap as advertised sometimes. Worse, NO PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE AT ALL. NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL. To my observation, Song Brothers are only there to lure tourists business!!
Sorry I won't rule out that some people must have some happy experience with Song Brothers, but I'm just quoting my bad experience for your reference. By all means go there if you feel like to. You may see different things from my description.
