I was going to comment on that too, but I thought you may have included it for some special significance. Dan

From what I was last told, Singapore is a little cheaper than Malaysia which is not much cheaper than Australia... You might save a couple of hundred on a new body if you bargain. I believe HK is still rock bottom for tech gear. Dan

It can focus obscenely close. If I could only have one lens, I think it would be it. Thanks Luke... It looks like I may be recommending that one to her... Michael

I'd just clone the sign out. tangcla wrote in post #5504432 Also, further to the watch discussion on Friday night - I might buy a new watch from Singapore too... I'd recommend buying Japanese personally. http://www.higuchi-inc.com/index-e.html

They did throw a couple of curve balls. A) by changing their photoshoot location at (literally) the last second and B) by dedicating a whole 20 minutes to it! Both of which threw me off a little. Other than that it was a heap of fun and we got some great shots. Well at least I think so. So glad I bought that 580EX too! The 420 just wouldn't have cut it. Oh, and my wife... she was very handy to have around Dan

I'm not sure if this would be too 'extreme' for a lot of my style of shooting. It'd be a nice addition though, however I'm not sure how often it would be used. Clarence

How well would the fisheye be for 'big head' shots? The 10-22mm works well for that. No experience yet but i will probably be getting one when i go on my next spending spree in about 15 weeks now i got a job lol Hmmmmmm... MkIIN Angus
