Hi, i recently went into a shop in Shaw Tower level 2 known as T.K Foto Technic to look at camera stuffs. They have quite a wide range of products on display.

Does anyone has any experience buying from this shop? Is their price reasonable? How is their service?

Kindly advise.

Thank you.

I bought a 4040z from them two years ago and I found out later that their price was higher by as much as S$150 than camera shops at Lucky Plaza and Sim Lim.

Make sure you canvass first before you buy just to make sure you're not being overcharged.

SINGAPORE

Hi , be careful of this black shop in singapore. "I HAVE BEEN CHEATED" $390 which cost only $89 for the vitacon lens.

i have bought vitacon 0.45 x wide angle with sony dcr-pc330e video cam and VF-R37K Filter kit in singapore at (song brother) 1 rochor canal road sim lim square #01-59/60. The sale man (name call Stefan gwee) char me for the total price of the three item at SGD$2614 including 5% GST.(TOTAL AMOUNT IS $2490) on 4 jul 2004.

The sony dcr-pc330e video cam in sim lim square shop cost about Sgd$2050 (GST not include ) as i tour around to ask for it price. The sony dcr-pc330e video camcorder itself which (song brother shop) charg me about Sgd$2050 (GST not include). Then VF-R37K Filter kit about SGD$50 GST not include. Which mean the vitacon 0.45 x wide angle cost me about $390 GST not include.

I then found out that the Vitacon 0.45 x wide angle in another shop at sim lim square (Edison electronics 01-43/45) cost only $SGD89 for the same models of the lens.

i have been cheated. i still have the receipt on my hand to prove that these three item cost me SGD$2490 GST NOT include.

As i look carefully for the description on the receipt it is written as (GROBARTING 0.45X WIDE ANGLE VIDEO LENS).

SO EVERY ONE PLEASE ALERT OF THIS BLACK SHOP IN SINAPORE.
