I passed through Singapore in April last year. The only OM stuff
I saw in the airport shops was a single OM3Ti with a 35-80 F2.8 zoom
attached. It was offered as a kit at approx 3700 Singapore $. Cheaper
than at home - if I could manage to get it through customs without paying
duty and tax.
I let it stay in Singapore (sob!) but eventually managed to get a kit
containing a 3Ti with a 90mm macro in Copenhagen at not much more than
the Singapore airport price, but this was including the 25ales tax
charged here.
I suppose I was lucky enough to find a dealer who had had this little
gem sitting around for long enough to want to get rid of it at practically
no gain.
Anyway, I was not impressed by the prices charged in Singapore Airport
at the time, so I did not buy anything. YMMV.
Regards
Lars
