18-200VR lens is in stock now

[lsisaxon]

Who knows...Nikon might introduce a 50-135 DX 2.8 with VR... would be DX equivalent of 70-200 2.8 VR ;p

There is no need for a DX equivalent of a tele lens.

well, it may or may not be DX, but that range would give us same coverage as the 70-200, which has been useful through the ages... would also cover the gap between 17-55 and 70-200 lens... DXing it might just reduce the size of the lens, especially if it were to be constant 2.8...

Well. The range just became something like 100-300, which is also quite useful. If you don't need f/2.8, there's the 24-120, which gives you an equivalent 36-180. But for that range, I would rather take the 18-200 DX.

actually, Nikon did have a 50-135 3.5... but stopped production after a short time... if they could AFS and VR it, I'm sure it would do well in sales in the DX age...

Wasted man. I was in KL, at a shop at Sungei Wang, they quoted RM2580, which works out just over $1100. If i had cash then, would have bought.

Warranty is for Malaysia or Worldwide?

which shop in KL ? Photo Selangor ?
im goin up this weekend...

 

[novello76]

its called tarita at sungei wang at g126-127. They only had 1 piece left, and I didnt try it. Suggest you give a call to William at 603-2144-9198. Shuld be worldwide warranty coz I asked. Using credit there will have 2% more, hence I didnt buy. And I wasnt sure if use credit card what the conversion rate will be. Best to use cash and exchange at a good rate to derive max savings.

 

[novello76]

And if you do buy do try extensively. I mean to be honest the shop is a small shop, and I am kinda skeptical. No harm done if you dont buy anyway..

 

[cikgoo]

thanks. will give him a call...
im surprised u can find one ..

 

[novello76]

I was surprised too, It was the only shop I asked, as I had very little time, and was surprised they quoted me this price straight.

 

[wcsiaw]

So anyone knows if there's still stock in Singapore?
