I'll be coming back to Singapore for a week in September and i'll like to know which shops in the Peninsula Triangle are a good bet for used lenses for my k100d.
many thanks!
many thanks!
You will be disapointed. Don't think there is one. I bet Perth that side got more used lens for pentax than here.
There are a couple of shops there that carry used Pentax lenses.
But the B&S forum have better stock at much better prices...
OK.. but its kind of hard for me to do any deals considering the distance involved. Could you point me in the direction of these shops? Even if the prices are higher, i still like to see and touch before committing.
p.s. I know getting from other users is better, my 50mm prime was from a photographic market. It was actually being sold with the camera. I just wanted the lens
The availability of used Pentax lenses here in Singapore is dismal. The few that you can find at TCW and other shops aren't cheap considering the age/condition. Anything good would probably have been snapped up already. My advice is to look online or deal with individual buyers direct. My collection of lenses have mostly been acquired this way.

The Zenitar fisheye can be bought cheaper on the net. I have seen it going for about S$200 thereabouts. It is a new set, not used.There is a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 (S$300+) at CamX. At TCW there is a M50 f/1.4, M28 f/2.8 (i think) and Vivitar 28 f/2.8 if you are interested.

Agreed it is cheaper to on the net.
Do a search, some of the sellers are offering it at Buy Now prices. Shipping isn't really a problem from my experience.Probably true. Problem of course is shipping and if its ebay, winning the bid.
Regarding those lense. Thanks, but it may be too early to know at the moment

Really? I have a few Australian professional photographer friends who buy most of their stuff online and haven't really had problems shipping wise.Not in Australia they don't....
