Macro lens questions

Nic,
Can try checking out Orient Foto at Sim Lim Sq
Last time there I saw they have the canon 100mm there.

Luenny,
If you order from HK what sort of warranty do you get?
I mean can the lens be serviced locally by Tammy?

Price does look friendly... But anyone can comment on the warranty thing? For lens, I reckon there should be some sort of international warranty but what about bodies?

Lenses from HK should be 1 year. Have a friend who hand carried it before. Also 1 year.

Are we able to go to the service center here to service or send it back to hk? Any charges if service here? Sorry for the noob questions...

Wah, my order is still pending. Darn! The FAQ says they'll process it within 48 hours. Guess I have to check again tomorrow.

This shop sure cheap, around S$100 cheaper than the grey set sell in Singapore, more if you compare it with no grey one. At least for the lens than I'm looking for.

He will now once he get his lens, it should be written down on the warranty card.

Does anybody know this Chanyw personally? Seems like most of his post in clubsnap is to sell things only.

Ya, that's why I'm a bit cautious when dealing in CS. Anyway, I'll give the AiS a pass since it's MF and only goes to 1:2. Not very useful to me.

Darn! Tin Cheung just email me saying no stock. They're offering full refund. Think I'll just pass on Tamron 180 and go order Nikon 200mm instead. Better lens and more readily available too.
