Anyone knows if this is already available in Spore and how much?
This is the new version with HSM for Nikon mount

Thanks

I asked (support@apds.com.sg) and got this reply (on August 14, 2007):

"Dear Sir
The lens is in the market. Retail price is S$368/-

However, on Amazon: "This item will be released on September 15, 2007"
..so, earlier release for Asia?

I find the price a bit unbelieveable because the US RRP is about USD$500 and in Europe, which is available already, is selling for around 450 euros.

ya. have to double confirm with them.

Oops... you're right - $368 is for the F3.5 - 5.6.
My apologies... very sorry (serves me right for surfing when I'm sleepy and getting over excited about this..)

So, I've asked them about the 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC MACRO and am waiting for a reply. Will post that when I get one. Have also checked Amazon as a price indicator... and it's coincidentally almost the same price... but in USD (US$ 378.99)
