Attention Shoppers : EF 17-40mm f4L USM going for $1,199

[USM]

Although it'll be nicer if its a 1.3x crop or a FF. :embrass:

Why the small font? Buying 5D secretly? :think:

Yes, no doubt that the EF-S 10-22mm is wider than 17-40 but unfortuantely it's a EF-S mount. It can't be used on 10D and 1D mk II, let alone all the film cameras. I would rather get the 17-40mm as it serves more purposes, etc.

The build for 17-40L is also much better than any Sigma ultra-wide, it also got internal zoom and internal focus *(consider internal if you place a UV filter in front). u can easily add a 77mm UV or PL but for Sigma u will need 82mm filters which are expensive & hard to find.

Hmm.... a new shop in PS? Din noe abt it... :think: Maybe go there look-see, look-see.

this is the pro shop that feature the new hassy filmback and digitalback???

There are so many people interested to buy the above lens, so I just wanted to share a lobang.

I happened to come across this shop "Pro Shop" at Plaza Singapura. They are having a sale for the above lens. This is a warranty set price. Hurry while stocks last. ;p

Yes it is. Its right next to Best Denki.

I called to enquire, the $1199 is inclusive of GST. However, it's a stock clearance sale, and they are sold out already.

Not surprise to hear. Such a good deal is hard to come by. This price beats all the shops such as CP, etc. SOLD OUT man. :bigeyes:

 

[taiwanapurasteve]

hmm...GST included??

I bought mine from CP when it was first launched 2 years back, it was the first batch of 17-40L, IIRC I paid $1230 for that lens, so not really far from $1199. :think:

suprisingly the price still so stable after so long :bsmilie:

So true, and the beauty of most of the "L" lenses is that it retains much of its value when you are considering reselling.

Maybe they have mistook it as TC-80N3 or you didn't show your big mama. :think:

Apparently they have a rental program for it and you can take it out for a spin if you are interested.
