the new lens price is about same as 2nd hand price in BnS section. if you are there by chance, then worth, if just fly there to buy, hmmm....if you buy white color lens, i think still worth it.

the price quoted on this link is almost like a list price...i hope the actual price is lower...
Check this out.
I have not validated the price with any shop. looks like the list is updated from time to time.

Are the lenses cover with internation warranty? What are some of the things we need to take note of while doing the purchase?

You can take a look at this little shopping guide for more details:

I must say this shopping guide really rocks
it was what led me to discovery of so many good deals in HK 
althou i spent like 1 full day walking into all the shops in that list.. it was fun thou Was in HK 3 weeks ago and bought the following from Wing Shing in Mongkok
Speedlite 580EX II - HKD3100
17-40mm L - HKD5150
I had gone armed with the prices off Price.com.hk & ydragon, and true enough Wing Shing quoted me those prices right off the bat, no need for bargaining. They even took time to show me the equipment, and made sure to go through the pricing, receipts, warranty, serial numbers etc. Service was very professional & proficient and I was most pleased. A friend bought the Canon S90 but I don't recall how much she paid, definitely a lot cheaper than SG.
May be heading to HK again in a month or so, and will probably get a tripod and some filters this time round.

Do you guys know what are the lenses that will give the biggest savings when getting in HK? Will be going there in Sept. So far looking at the tamron 17-50 VC.
I am also looking at tamron 1750. Base on the tin cheung website, it's abt SGD731, local price according to CS price list is abt SGD960. Have not call any shops to confirm.
I will be going to hk in a couple of days. Will post the price here when i am back.
Generally it is but there is no international warranty for the camera body.
Hey guys, Frm the price available online, tamron 17-50 vc is ard 3200 hkd. I am planning to get it too. Will be gng over to HK nxt wk. Will keep u guys updated with the price.
Dear Inevitz, I called CP yesterday & was told price went up already & $960.
$600 is VC version right? If so, the difference is quite substantial, $600 VS $960

Not sure if this will spoil market or help but yeah this is what i got from my recent trip from HK.

2) Tamron 17-50mm VC @ SGD600 from Echo Photo & Audio (really reccomend this shop)3) Canon S90 for my gf @ SGD480 from Echo Photo & Audio (good cause it comes with Int Warranty)
4) Canon 430EXII @ SGD350 from Xing San smth.. =X
5) Hoya Original UV Filter @ SGD20 =)
