hmm maybe exchange a 3600+5600 for a 56AM

hmmm... could it be that a new flash is brighter than an old flash :dunno:

 

[sulhan]

maybe ..... aged strobe tubes or Yellowing of diffusers may at times give some sense of less light/weaker light output.

I think the 56AM is 5600HS... with different in lettering

Just comparing old flash with new flash... different is so minimal.

Was at Key Color at Mid Valley today. They had the HVLF56 and quote me RM1300 cash for it. I guess the price is slightly cheaper than CP?

Just called MS Color, enquiring about their Sony A100 roadshow today.

Was quoted $680 for the 56AM flash ... i do know RRP is $ 699, but is it also so ex in the shops?

It's still hot and new, price probably will drop more later on.

thats a great price for USA residents!

adding on shipping to singapore, the total cost is about SGD607 ...if gst is chargeable then the price is about 637...slightly cheaper than getting in singapore but would it be worth the trouble?

 

[pai]

hmm under $560 sing... maybe should pick one up while i'm there...
wonder if oracle can bring in for under $500 like last time leh...

 

[GENO]
