Macro lens questions

[luenny]

Anybody knows where I can get Tamron 180mm Macrolens? I asked a lot of shops already all say don't have stock and got supplier problems so cannot order.

By the way, anybody knows anything about Sigma 180mm Macro lens? Is it good?

[Wackytpt]

Ask Billy.

I think he is using the Sigma 180mm.. Or I might be wrong

[Simon]

not might be but confirm wrong, billy has the 150mm

Luenny, the t180 is high in demand but low in supply :P, have you checked mscolor, alan photo at funan, tkfoto, cathay photo and john 3:16?

[luenny]

I have checked MS, TK, cathay and orient. Ok, checking with Alan and john now. Thanks.

[Simon]

let me know if you like to place an order

Luenny,
I checked with Orient and they also say they can place an order for you too.
I guess that would be a sure bet.

[Simon]

isn't Orient dealing with grey items only? if that is the case only 1 year international, if provided compared to 3 yrs for the local set

[trident]

Simon,
Yes Orient sells grey set at lower price.
I bought my ST-E2 there at $20 lower than what the others are selling.
But than again, others got no stock.

[luenny]

Hi Simon,
Try all you suggested already. No stock. Can you help me place an order for it? Which shop are we talking about? Is it MS? Cause I did ask MS about placing order but they say cannot. Don't know if they will do it for you or not since they know you.

Based on today's exchange rate, it's S$921 for a brand new set. I have bought from them several times and they are a very reputable and reliable retailer.

Shipping to Singapore is about S$30 to S$50.

Cheers,

Hmmm ... interesting. Thanks for the link Benny. Looks like worth it to buy online. If I do, I might buy a few more items and get them shipped together.

This online shop seems to be cheaper than local shop even after add in the shipping cost, to bad accept only paypal. Is the waranty international?

Hey luenny can chip in, I don't have paypal

[tcy81]

[Shadow]

mass shipping to be exact

Robert,
You planning to buy the Tamron 180mm Macro too?

[Shadow]

nope, other stuff

[luenny]

They only accept paypal?? Darn! I don't have paypal too. Anybody can help? Or how do I go about opening an account? Do I have to pay to have an account in paypal?

[Simon]

there is a one time registration fee for paypal. Looking at that site, they accept Visa ,Mastercard and Amex too

Have yet experience ordering anything from the Net. May I know how's the warranty like and how to go about if its faulty or needs to be caliberated?
