No lah, it was selling around that price before the promo. Without gifts thou.

Before I log on the Internet, I was reading a Tokina brochure and contemplating about the 19-35! Any idea when the offer ends. I won't come back to Singapore till mid July.

Yaloh, they should offer the Slik Sprint Pro as free gift, then no need to consider at all

 

[sadness]

worked out the maths yet?

i guess the free gifts:
Light monopod with case WT1003
Crumpler crumpy wallet
Tokina filter 77mm 1A
Lens pen LP-1

add up to some SGD$50/?
somewhere there?


so it could be quite an ok acquisition afterall.

cheers babe!!!

 

[hackie]

tested the lens wif a fren's S2 Pro on Wed..
image quality not that good with some bleeding at the top and bottom edges. center sharpness is ok. but the build quality is typical Tokina!

in the end, din get it..

 

[vince123123]
