New Canon 100mm f2.8L IS USM

[doodah]

CP-P only $1284, $1350 if 12months.

Is that with GST included? R u saying $1350 is for payment by installments?

I am surprised by CP price if that is inclusive of GST. BTW, did you get an e-quote from them? They always charge an exorbitant price for me.

That sounds more like it. I paid $1320 at TK Photo and PariSilk's offering price is $1285. I only got mine at TK only because they had stock when I was looking for it. Cathay Photo usually charges more... Engrmariano is fortunate he gets a special rate. :bsmilie:

Yes... I forgot this... :bsmilie:

IMPT QNS: Does the minimum aperture CREEP to f5 like the 100mm macro 2.8 when approaching 1x magnification?

you mean this?...

Magnification: ∞ 1:5 1:3 1:2 1:1.5 1:1
Exposure Factor (loss in stops) 0 2/3 1 1 1/3 1 2/3 2
Effective Aperture f/2.8 f/3.6 f/4.1 f/4.6 f/5.0 f/5.9

if the table above is your concern, its perfectly normal for all lenses. its just more pronounced for macro lenses as its "physical" aperture moves away too far from the sensor as it goes maximum magnification.

No, it won't even fit because of the protruding front element in Canon's EF 2x Extender. Third party 2x extenders will fit though.

Thanks for the heads up.

The price that Engrmariano got must be really special, just wondering if anyone else got it at $1284. I called CP-P and got a quote of $1370, and even when I told them I know of people getting it at $1284 from them, they told me that is not doable... and lowest is still $1370.
Crap... I will stop buying my equipment from them.

Anyway, Click! at Tampines One has stocks. Just got one from them.

 

[koljaho]

[pattanct]

just check at SLQ, one of the shop infront of the lift, 1250 + GST. nearly put my money in, cos is my B'day today...
