Went to CP Marina Square today to buy an ExpoDisc.
Saw the 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM and asked for the price.
Jeff the friendly sales man said it's going to be S$1299.
I asked cash or credit card?
He said credit card also can except AMEX.
Well wot can I say, I'm going to sell off my Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 to fund this lens! :thumbsup:

Credit card never charge 2%?

 

[WuffRuff]

I think so too!...

Like someone said, if it's only up till 28th Aug, then why are there no advertisements? Most likely, the price revisions are here to stay...for good.

Stay for good? No such thing la...
Can stay... but until oil prices increase again... (*touch wood*)
Maybe these prices went down cos of oil price decrease... I remember they had increased the price when oil went up... :cry:

Sorry guys, this kind of question and answer shall never be discussed online. Just like politics, religion, etc; highly sensitive topics.

Anyway, just turn up at the kopi session if you wishes to know.

So when and where is this kopi session? Or where will it be posted?

Check across various brand forum, seems like the price cut is across the board, Sony/Nikon are doing the same as well.

How about third party lenses like Sigma, Tamron, etc?

Must wait for price drop to stable before getting 70-200 f4L IS.
Musssst controllllll...:sweat:

Haha... like when then can stable??

my experience with CP is that they accept visa/MC for purchases without surcharge. Bought my 70-200f4L from them when it was at $1000 IIRC. paid by visa, no problem.

Cathay prices already include 2%. So payment by cash, nets, visa no problem.
They also offer CC interest-free installment >$500.
The 70-200F4 was $1k ($999) since last year @ Cathay and a good deal at that, I was tempted many times.

So, your source no price adjustment?

I quote Jeff:" For the price, I think we can still absorb credit card charges. But please hor, no AMEX."

Currently no... looks like this price dip is only happening to Singapore... :think:
