Very reputable and it's a heaven for stressed photographers. Don't be surprised that they don't pay much attention to you when you enter the shop - they just give you space and time to look around. Grab the guys if you need something or have a question, they are friendly and helpful.

Remember to check prices with other stores and compare. Not all are cheap. Also check out their warranty terms.

But they are definitely very nice folks.
Last time when i was trying to scout for a particular lens which they did not carry, they volunteered to check with the china resale market for the item ( ?!? )

Never shopped at OP.

But you can try John3:16 @ funan, never had a bad experience over there... 'cept maybe the stores a bit too busy at times, the staff are friendly, honest and a number of other experienced photogs there to give advice should you need it.

orient photo prices are ridiculous to me.
buyer beware!

orient photo prices aren't exactly the best...

check out edison photo or alan photo at sim lim.

With every good recommendation/ review for a store, there will always definitely be a bad experience from someone else. All the shops are the same, that's what I notice. I guess for the consumers/non-regulars, sometimes it really all depend on luck. Most important, must always do homework first and compare prices.
