is the 5d now available in "body only" package?

[caterham7]

keen to pair it up with a 18-200mm for easy travelling, so is a "body only" package available?

seems sigma's version now also comes in minolta mount

so there are now 3 choices, sigma, tamron, and konica minolta

saw the prices mentioned in the sticky, minolta is S$745, quite ex compared to S$500 plus for sigma, not sure how accurate the pricing is

Take a look at the dates of the prices posted. It should give u clue. Also bear in mind that Sigma lenses are on general quite a bit cheaper than camera brand lenses.

I still think it better to get back the orginal lens, they might look the same, but the output dont.
