but somehow lots of ppl claim this lens to be The Lens.
The one & only one will ever need.

i noticed most, not all prefer lenses that cover a wide focal range

Depends on what you want. If you are on a holiday tour (not photographic tour), you will want to travel light and this is a one lens solution. I only use this lens when I am bringing the camera out for fun just to capture things and put some numbers into my shutter count. I will probably not use this lens for assignments but will still bring it with me.

the bokeh looks ok to me leh. Lucky I have lower standards. The blur lights are circular in shape, but looks a bit like donut not too bad.

I remember one of my old lens bokeh has double image one... that was bad.

Sim Lim one outlet offer me 1580, than ask me for a price, i say 1300 include GST, after the calculate the boss say......."NO"

That's because he have too little profit mah.

Convenient mah, carry 1 lens for all situation.
Sometimes got photo with lower quality is better than no photo at all.
Moreover the quality is not that bad for a all in 1 lens.
For many there will be overlapping range and depends on situation you may not want to carry them all.
This lens overlaps almost 90% of my lens range but I still keep the rest for different situations.

They don't do the delivery, the stocks depends on when the supplies are sent in.

When down to AP just now and they said no stock and got a waiting list for it

I think the strong demand will push the price up ....

does the retailer have the right to raise the price above the quoted price on the phone?

It's a free market and everything is possible (both legally/illegally)...black market is always there .... abit off topic already. This is really a must-have lens with Nikon D200.
