$1300 at todays rate. But don't forget you need to pay shipping ($80-100) + 7%gst ($91). So landed cost is $14xx-$1500. That's $200 savings. Still very good.

How you get $1300? I just bought from Amazon JP too, its only $107x shown on my CC statement. Shipping is less than $40 if you are using Tenso.

I just ordered mine from T-dimension. got it for SGD 1176, all in. with all the online shopping from HK and Japan, it doesn't seem to make sense to buy from retail here anymore. also doesn't make sense to buy 2nd hand here anymore.

 

[keithwee]

woah,

i thought I'd gotten mine cheap at $1177 from HKG, but Diddy u really showed to me that the lens can go way cheaper when its 1176 with shipping thrown in.
