When I was in Quiapo yesterday, I did see one store that sold Tamron lenses, but I forget which one, it probably was Avenue as Jeff mentioned.

I have fallen in love with my Tamron 18-250. The images are super sharp and very detailed. If I hadn't paid so much for the CZ16-80, I would sell that in a heartbeat! The 18-250 is a must have lens (either that or the Sony clone).

@jagey, I didn't notice any Tamron lenses in a Sony mount while I was in Quiapo...it's a CaNik world out there.

glad not to jump immediately with cz16-80. as i observe my KM 18-70 bargain kit lens is sharp enough to compete with hi-end lenses of same & other brands. and has sweet spots specially w/ portraits. its just Sony/CZ lenses are damn expensive! 50mm non G prime lense SRP @ 21K PhP and compared to C (non L) or N same lense for around 6K PhP - its 300%++ more expensive! i wonder if the its only Sony PH who's expensive?

You have to tell us where in HK to buy lenses. Obviously, not in any of the stores along Nathan Road, right?

Hmn, I'm not aware of a Tam50/1.8 for A-mount. Anyway you'd be better off with a Min50/1.7 or Min50/1.4 :D

That would be the sony 50mm 1.8. It sells for about 5k PHP.

Nooo, go to Mongkok. Go to any citicall or Wing Shing. If you have time, find this shop:

FYI: the sony 18-250 is not just a clone. It's sharper and has faster AF.

That's IF he goes full frame. For APS-C, the sony 50mm 1.8 is seriously very very good. Very sharp, awesome bokeh.

guys, do you know if there is already a tamron service center here in the Phils? I'm thinking of getting a Tamron but I am discouraged because of the lack of service center if ever the lens would be broken.
