Hi, some updates since I was in Hong Kong today to test out the two lenses below.
Decided to just buy the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon F mount from Tin Cheung Camera shop for HKD$2850. Listed on their website was going for HKD$2992.50. I am not sure what this lens asking price is in SGP but I am sure it is definitely higher (just reassuring myself, no flames pls) but do correct me if I am wrong.

So at the exchange rate of SGD$1.00 = HKD$5.23 so roughly SGD$545.00.
The same price of $2850 can be had for the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro HSM Zoom Lens for Nikon F mount. Listed on their website was going for HKD$3024.00. I enquired about this lens during the IT show in SGP, the asking price was SGD$715.00 at the show without GST.

For lenses without HSM, just deduct HKD$280.00
Do note that Sigma lenses sold by TC are all "water goods" however they do provide shop warranty of 1 year and international warranty on request, just make sure you get them to stamp their company chop on both sides of the warranty card..
Hope you benefit from this info.
Another info - the best exchange rate or shop I found, after comparing upto 7 different money exchange booth which ranged from HKD$4.94 to HKD$5.16 within TST, is the United Exchange Limited located in Chung King Mansion in TST which gave upto HKD$5.23.
