google is your good friend.

Seeems like a legal shop based in hk. However you have to take the risk of warranty to save some money.

Roughly how much is this lens if bought in SG with warranty? Sorry I can't really find pricelist of this model in SG sitrs

 

[gundamseed84]

usually they do not list prices on sg sites. You have to google reliable shops and make calls.

E.g. Cathay Photo, Tkfoto, SLRrevolution, etc. My guess is $400+ .

Last I check from some reputable sg shop is about $500 plus a little. If there is any place selling at $400 plus I would not mind buying another one.

Guess that is the non-VC version, as VC version is B005. Non-vc should be selling at lower price.
Do take note bought from overseas (or grey set) meaning no local warranty by GSH.

Last check during end of last year when there cash rebate promo, the street price of VC version cost slightly less than $600 ($500++) after rebate. So guess the non-VC will be lower.
