Check with several shops like AP and MS but they dont have skylight filter.. Can give me the name for the shop's that selling kenko skylight filter at such low price? Wanna go confront with some idea on the market price, cause my friend went with me and together we're cheated.. As it was me who brought my friend there i feel that i have to give my friend an answer.

OMG! you definately kena chopped using a extremly big parang!!!!

Just called them to act as another consumer to check price.. Told me that the Kenko skylight is multi coated? Then if i want can have cheaper brand such as hoya, they selling hoya one @ $15.

Super blur now, so is the kenko skylight filter with multicoated really worth so much?? Please advice..

Anyway thinking that this forum advice ppl where to buy from, but not where not to buy from (correct me if i'm wrong). Should we start a thread of those shops which CSers have bad experience at? In terms of service, attitude, price and condition of the products..

Brother, why didn't you contact me? Thought that you are suppose to get something from me?

If you would have done so, I would have advised you on market prices of various camera gear.

Yup.. wanted to contact you but my com's down.. haiz.. Feeling suCks..
But think on the brighter side ppl are getting cheated for much more, think i'm lucky in a way.. Wont be able to get from you the thing so soon.. All my weekend burn.. Surely will stop visiting that shop le..

So 50bucks for the filter with multicoat is still eX right.. THink next time i'll ask around in forum first before going out and be a cabbage.. hee..

If really a multicoated one, then should be reasonable. But for I know, local dealers seldom carry multicoated filters leh~~~

NVM, at least you've learnt something. Next time must do some research and also try to get it from reputable and trustable sources.

 

[tomlowct]

Ohya, by the way, Hoya not cheap brand leh!
