Just picked up the FE 55/1.8. Quick question for those who got it


I heard this from my Dad and somewhere also "the day we stop learning is the day we died"

That is true... so better don't stop learning!!! :bsmilie:
 

I am curious how the 55/1.8 will perform on the A6000. The effective focal length will be 82.5mm . Maybe Sony is pulling a "Sigma DP". Have the 35/2.8 on A7 and the 55/1.8 on A6000 for the ultimate combo.

Already drop around $100
 

Should drop more since SG price is still higher than HK/Japan/Korea.

There are BNS sellers who bought around $1K from HK/Japan/Korea selling at a good profit still, riding on the price differences.

Sony SG would say : wait long long haha
 

Ebay already have around 1k for 55mm.. from HK
 

last i heard, sgd was 1288...is it lower now? if i actually drops to around 1.2k, then it's no point buying overseas anymore..you don't save much and lose your warranty

My last heard was $1250 dunno price lower now or stand still =)
 

Not Sony SG.... they will keep price at RRP.

I meant those regular camera shops that are selling lower as supply is abundance. Maybe 1-2 shops are selling below $1250?

2 months old used set, no warranty.

He would have bought at $1k, used for 2 months, and sell with $150 profit. Even if it is a Brand New Set bought today from HK/Japan/Korea at $1K, are you willing to pay him extra $150 and without warranty?

Might as well buy a local set with just a bit more, and get a comfort of a really brand new set with 15mths full local warranty, and 7-days one-to-one exchange?

This guy sell S$ 1150/-

I would like to pay a bit more to get local warranty as well...at least i feel more secure =)
 

Try to pay a visit at Funan, or call MSColor to negotiate. May even be cheaper than $1250. Not worth buying a used set with no warranty at this price.
