Referring to a clubsnap a sg forum,

EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM is selling cheapest for SGD 2430 at Alan Photo - Funan

http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=518391

so buying from SG is cheaper?

Yeah it seems that its cheaper there. The 70-200 F2.8L IS is selling around RM7k here.

wah very cheap in SG~*tempting* now who wants to buy my f4~2 days old only btw anyone knows the price of 17-40mm before the price increase?

Yes, and claim GST refund. HK is cheapest but lots of grey set there, unless you willing to fly back to HK for warranties.
In SG, Orient Photo in Sim Lim sells both local set and much cheaper grey set so clarify before you buy.

new EF 17-40mm f/4.0L USM = RM2850
previous around RM2500

thanks~

You need to refer to those prices that have date column behind it. S$2430 might be the price before the price hike.

p/s: How much is EF-S 10-22mm in KL?

EF-S-10-22 F/3.5-4.5 USM = RM2730

need some opinion from 17-40 users...it looks like my 17-40 got some problem (or it's just me) because when the focus is lock, the picture is actually blur in viewfinder. I have to refocus again to get a sharp image on my viewfinder. and i also noticed it kept hunting frequently,thus make the focusing slow. anyone here experiencing same thing?

I've experienced the 'Hunting' issue only when its low-light or when I'm too close without realising. Have you checked the focus point set on your camera?

The New Canon Hybrid IS out soon. Guess there will be new lens out by the end of year.

hi, anyone knows how much is 85mm f1.2 and 24-70 f2.8?

24-70L: SGD2200.

To all sifus around.....

I'm in need of opinion whether buying "EF-S 17-85mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM" as an upgrade from my kit lens "EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS" is wise?!!Is there any other alternatives which comes in a package of reasonable price+good picture quality?


Currently using:
EOS 400D + EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS + EF 70-200mm f/4L USM

this is L thread ler. Surely we won't tell u to buy EFS lens. Buy the 17-40L. Cheap n superb with a capital L!

bro ian, how does the 1740L peforms at corners? Is it as soft was what most reviews mentioned?

i'm struggling 17-40 or tokina 11-16 f2.8

17-40 is not wide enough, but will be nice if i upgrade to FF

11-16 is gonna be useful if i get 7D

I'm getting the 7D too... probably gonna be my Xmas gift to myself.

By any chance are you letting go ur 40D?

Btw, I know this is a L lens thread, but do you guys think it is worth spending the extra 1k for 1740 rather than the cheaper tamron 17-50?

yeap gonna let go my 40D once I got hold of my 7D; but it might not be so soon.

1740L as compared with Tammy 1750; basically you are paying a premium for weather-seal, USM, and higher built quality. IQ wise, I would say the tammy performs as good as the 1740L at f/4 (or perhaps even better).
