have to do some research, some stuff are cheaper, some are more expensive. eg. the 50/1.8 is over 200sgd.

Most items are cheaper by a great deal. I bought my 580EX speedlight there for S$580 after conversion at Tokyo's Yodobashi at Shinjuku. However, I noticed that they sell CF cards at a very high price (all SANS disk ones- no cheaper brands like Kingston).
