Originals are $200 thereabout...not so ex...

Actually I got the price from http://www.ddelectronics.com.sg/products/Canon-BG%252dE8-Battery-Grip-for-EOS-550D-%7B47%7D-Rebel-T2i-Camera.html.

Had been searching online in ebay but can't find cheap original one. Around S$250 onwards but just saw from http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=518391 price ard S$200 indeed.

Anyway I got for the Phottix with 2 battery at S$105.

Hope to get it soon to test out

Hi all!

I've finally joined the club with my own 550D. Will be looking forward to receiving more tips, help and advices on this forum in the future. :]

For now, I just need help deciding between the Canon 270EX Speedlite and the Nissin D622.

Hi all,

im looking to buy the EF50mm f1.8. Can owners here share where u got yours, the price and place of manufacture? I understand there's different places of manufacture. The canon pricelist only states price.
lastly, can you recommend a filter? Shd I just buy a cheap uv filter or a better one so as not to affect IQ?

Thank you.

I bought my EF50mm f/1.8 at Alan Photo. They quoted me $118 inclusive of GST. Cheapest from what I can see.

Then I went to get my Tokina 52mm UV Filter at Orient Photo at $12.

If you want cheaper filter, you can get Sun Blitz Filter for like $8 ?

Get the Di622. The 270EX although its original by Canon, but it isn't consider a full size flash like the 430ex or 530ex.

Thanks. Alan Photo at which branch? May I know where's the lens made in?

The Tokina at $12 sounds fine to me.

Canon body is made in Japan, Canon lens is made in Japan, some of them in Malaysia.
Nikon body is made in Thailand, Nikor lens is made in China, some of them in Japan.

" Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II " ALL is made in Malaysia. With online 1 year warranty.

I got mine with Alan Photo because I know the boss there, so he can give me better prices.
