I was out on Sunday looking for it at YL Camera at Pudu Plaza, no luck. I called up Jason at Amcorp and also no luck. Hope to see some shots quickly! <b>Shaolintiger</b> You're right there at the street price being RM850.00 - I called a few places and that's the minimum so far. Based on my budget and preference, I just placed an order for it too. Thanks :D Mark,

Do let us know when you've posted some pics from it! Shong Lee is a good shop, I know the boss there, you won't really get it cheaper in KL. For the best prices around PJ you can also try J-One in Amcorp Mall. genedavinci: Yah it’s a much better choice than the cheaper 70-300mm third party lenses, which can be at least RM600-700 anyway.

Retail price is RM850 and I got it at Shong Lee 1Utama. Decided to buy it there because its nearer and I was too lazy to head to KL to look for a better price. Also I was in a hurry to try using it at Teluk Batik over the weekend. Thanks to this post I actually went out and bought it on Friday. Retail price is RM850 and I got it at Shong Lee 1Utama.

Although short of 100mm, but at 200mm, you should be getting good zoom photos. Add that with VR, it's good enough... at least for me.

I was at Carey Island last weekend at the beach in the evening when the mud-skippers and hermit crabs came out to play. I tried getting close to them with the 18-55mm but they kept running away :D Of course, if there are other lenses you would recommend, please do tell :) Cheers!
