Tks to bro ricleo in helping me modifying d sigma 19mm n set zoom function on custom button. Now I can use it on ff at around 21-22mm wif no vignetting n its very very sharp across d frame. Cheers.

Bro Thoth, is that sigma 19mm f2.8 DN? Do u use any adapter to use this lens?

Sorry for noob question, really new in this mirrorless body

Anyone can enlighten me about this setting in the A7 - Exposure Comp Set - Ambient and Flash / Ambient only?
I tried googling for it but could not find a link that would answer my question.
Thanks!

7% no gst promotion does not apply to their new products such as A7/R and RX10. So no shop will be allowed to sell without GST.

Airport is special, as the electronic store sells everything there without GST.

They only have 1 set of A7R there. No A7 and no lenses to sell for this A7R.

All purchases made at Changi Terminal (before and after immigration) are GST free, traveler or not...at least that's what they said when I flew out 2 weeks ago

Ahhh ok. Sorry...I read wrongly. Thought he meant 3rd floor of Funan IT mall. Hahaha.

But by right, if you buy in T3 after the immigration, you supposed to declare for GST.

Nope, the electronic hub shop is before immigration near the restaurants there. No GST declaration needed there will automatically deduct 7% from your purchase price and for airport staffs even better I think got additional 5% discount.

Almost all the things sell in Changi Airport terminals will have minus 7% GST even if you buy cake from Bengawan Solo as well

Correct... It will be a good place to buy the FE 55/1.8 when it arrives... I already got the salesman contact and will call him just before CNY... Haha...

No leh... he told me the lens not here yet. Once launched in SG, his store should have it within a week and thus can call him to check end of Jan... Haha..
