MO: Cheap photography stuff frm S'pore

[astroboy]

I will be down in SG tentatively from May 18-20, give or take a few days. Anyone wants to get items from there, please list down your request. Pls note that this is not a FREE service. I mark up some of the items slightly to cover my petrol, parking, CBD etc.

U can make payment to me directly or do bank transfer into my RHB acct (sorry no MayBank).

Thank you.

[astroboy]

Forgot to mention, not ALL items are cheaper in S'pore. Some stuff like camera bodies and lenses better to get it in KL.

Items that are considerably cheaper include Lowepro bags, Gitzo tripods, Nikon CPLs, B+W CPLs, Optech Pro straps etc.

Recommended items:

Lowepro Mini Trekker AW....... RM345
Lowepro Mini Trekker Classic.... RM290
Lowepro Slingshot D300AW...... RM390

Nikon Slim CPL 77mm.....RM450

Optech Pro Loop camera strap (black)......... RM70

[ipingen]

Can you check for me the price for Lowepro CompuRover AW & Lowepro Rover AW II

[andretong]

Buy Buy Buy!!!!!!

I already have kenko Pro 1 CPL... shouldhave compare it with B+W CPL when i go Langkawi.
Anyway, which is better ?
Lee Filter or COkin ?

[ShaolinTiger]

Lee filter more neutral, you can check out Singhray too.

TBH though unless you're really anal you won't notice the diff.

I do find B+W colour noticeably better than Hoya for CPL though.

I am not sure what your intention is. Most folks already know the Clubsnap thread where u cut and paste from.

No.1 - Don't think it is ethical to cut and paste from another Forum and paste it here. You can create a link to it but not copy wholesale.

No. 2 - It's also not polite to gatecrash someone else's thread by being a self-appointed "price police". You should start your own thread.

This thread is outdated and I should have closed it long ago.
Thank you.
