as what mooey said, "lobang" is a Malay word meaning "hole" used by singaporeans (military trained in particular) to refer to a good deal...denebman wrote:the tmb 100/800 is no longer in production. the alternative is 102/800 made by LZOS, Russia. I can get it from LZOS, but still the lead time is uncertain.
Now only these two 80/480 fluorite triplet objective lens are at hand.
btw: what does "Lobang" mean? anyone has an idea?
in the army, its a good thing to find a hole to hide....and that is probably how "lobang" came into daily use here....eg "got good lobang or not?"
sometimes I am concerned with the use of singlish (including myself) as non-singaporean members may have problems "catching the ball" (understand what is said)...heh heh
