if you buy the US Sets, warranty will be honored by Canon Singapore.

not sure about Tokina - was referring to Canon lenses.

No worry. They are reputable. Except do clarify the warranty matter.

B&H or Adorama are one of the Most Reputable dealers in the States. Only flaw buying this we is we can physically see the lens condition before we purchase it.

Is it really very much cheaper buying from these overseas online retailers?

Lets see USD600 x 1.41 (est exchange rate) * 1.085 = SGD918 (is assumes that shipping is free from US to SG), 1 year international warranty.

You can buy a local set in singapore for around 930-950 cash 2 years warranty.

I rather buy in Singapore.

ditto , if daredevil's calculations are right.

plus if got problem can bring back to physical shop, instead of batting it back to us.

That makes a lot of sense. I will buy oversea online only if the local reseller/distributor want to cut throat or price as they like.
