Erm... If I translate this correctly, you're asking for the 70-400 price? It's pretty affordable in Hong Kong, just try looking at the Sonystyle HK and reduce price by about 10-15% for the street price.

Check the Tamron website.

Not too much of a difference to the existing 18-250 though.

Huh? Quality is the same. It's from the same factory. Do you even really know what you're talking about?

Aiyoo.... All the usual recommended shops in Mongkok. Try a search, they're listed here a lot.

Take a look at SONY HK as the ballpark... this is to prevent you from getting conned... also bring along SONY S'pore prices and the e-quote prices from MS Color & Cathay Photo... these are about the only 2 pro shops in S'pore that sell SONY...

talking about Cathay Photo..seems like they have closed the Sony DI Pro Shop.. anyone knows why?

 

[eow]

talking about Cathay Photo..seems like they have closed the Sony DI Pro Shop.. anyone knows why?

I'm not surprise.

most probably it cost too much to sustain such shop

the one in peninsular plaza?

Yeah. Probably didn't make good business sense to take up prime retail space when the sales volume isn't very high.

MSC also closes theirs....sony cutting cost???

 

[Galdor]

Seems like a cost cutting measure.

Yupe, IMO a little ambitious to have 2 pro shops when the user base for the higher end cameras is not there... most A700 users are just hobbyists... so are most A900 users...
