#5 Post at 1-2-2010 01:31  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #4 waikeekee's post No problem bro I'm a camera geek as well but am a Nikon follower. Should try to stick with the Canon lens as you will notice the quality and build over time and you might regard not spending a little extra... Before you buy as always, get the sales staff to let you try both lens (from Canon and Sigma) to see the differences.

#7 Post at 1-2-2010 01:42  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #5 asia-play's post Sure, will heed your advice. Anyway, I used to have a Nikon FM2 SLR C/W a 50MM F2.8, 110-300MM Zoom F3.8 and an excellent fixed 105MM F1.2 - all originals. As they don't make them anymore, I sold all of it to a collector for a good profit. Have stopped taking photography as a hobby. Only using those fool-proof pocket camera for my exploits. RGDS WKK

You can compare prices in HK by using the web. www.the-digital-picture.com/ www.dpreview.com Edit: Forgot some places like Canada and the USA, there is tax and shipping cost to consider [ Last edited by  Weelock at 1-2-2010 03:07 ]

#12 Post at 1-2-2010 15:22  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Sim City, 47-51 Shantung Street. http://www.tincheungcamera.com.hk/contact-us.php This place has quite a few retailers of 2nd hand and new cameras. And given your history with cameras, you shouldn't have too much problems testing the 2nd hand lens. I'd definitely have a look atSim City prior to purchasing. Having said that, I just purchased a Nikon 35mm f1.8 at Man Shing. If you're looking for any official imports in Hong Kong, they're likely to have it. Man Shing is at: 104-106 Tung Choi Street, Mongkok.
