It was 'intentional'
Cos I have colleagues flying to US time to time hehehe... so they can be 'excluded' at times :lovegrin:
That's how I got my HG lenses :heart::sweatsm:

Of course! Btw, it's quite a bad time to be spending US$ now, despite it's about US$1:S$1.5. Not much significant cost savings...

Speaking of which, I'm sure friends in need are friends in deed - convenient to spare some cash for my new toy? :devil:

Just kidding~ :bsmilie::sweatsm:

 

[Benares]

Now "Everybody loves Benares"... :heart:

You want to setup a fanclub for me? :gbounce: lol *kidding*

Anyway, Earth to moonbase~ return to orbit please~ OT...

S$900 bucks for this toy... goodness. IMO, investing a little bit more to get the 11-22 might be more worth... f/2.8-3.5 somemore and weather sealed...

Woh~ woh woh~ Bro~ hold your horses! I ain't getting this glass... Too much damage inflicted this year from the HG lenses already. :nono:

Anymore then I have to :hung: myself already if eating air isn't bad enough ...

9-18mm prices will eventually drop lah... or wait for m43 with the new 7-14mm lens.

Never mind,the old year ending soon,the new year starting soon,1 month plus more,i'm sure we all can wait :devil::bsmilie:

quite true,lol,but cost wise i think it's in a way wise to just get the 9-18 lens,then again,m43 also quite cost wise as well,:think:

not sure if you guys know already, 9-18 is now available at Alan's Photo, SLS. Quoted $830, but I didn't ask if it includes GST.

 

[holidaydom]

I got mine at TK FOTO for S$800.

Much MUCH better service than AP and more open and honest pricing too. :thumbsup:
