I am complying a list of shops in Hong Kong and hopefully can share it with everyone in a month or so (around Chinese New Year) as I will have some free time to work on it and do research.

Good service and let me test the lens for more than 15mins even before I confirm the purchase. Mongkok has the whole stretch of shops for you to go and ask prices. Take your time as sometimes prices are different even if they are chain outlets as my purchase is a fine example. The first fortress outlet at Mongkok quote me a price almost 5% above the other fortress outlet where I bought the lens. The best part was at this shop along Nathan Road called China Electronics or likewise, tried to sell me at a price higher than SG. My first and only answer to him was, "Bro too steep, your price is 12% higher than the rest...", and he even has the cheek to answer me "No choice, now high demand so prices soar, order now and wait for 2 weeks or leave it". My gf & I looked at each other, shook our heads and walked out.
Just bear one thing in mind. Buying lenses in MongKok is likewise to buying in Sim Lim Square. Ask first for their prices as some will chop your carrot head.
