I'm looking to buying my first lens for my Canon (woot!). If you have any lenses for $40-$100 that you recommend in me getting or have one available to sell, let me know! I appreciate it!

You can get the Canon 50 1.8 brand new for only about $80 at B&H...

Yeah thats what I'm about to do, however, I'm just hoping someone has them in hand theyre not using and are willing to part it out.

I appreciate it though!

I have one that I have only used 3 different times. I mostly shoot outdoors and don't think I really need it since I never use it. I'd take $65 including shipping in the U.S.

I also have a 75 - 300 IS for sale which is more than $100 though.

Check out this link:

http://www.adorama.com/US%20%20%20%20219447.html?searchinfo=35-135&item_no=4

I bought a used 35-135mm from adorama, and I have found it quite useful, especially for $125 or so. It's a nice range, and the lens is well built and solid. I'm currently looking to get a 70-300 IS, after which I will probably sell the 35-135, but it could be a few weeks or so.

F8th637- I just bought the 50mm 1.8 used, for roughly $10-$15 dollars less than what it costs @ Amazon. 10-15 isnt a big savings for me, if i could have seen that link before i would have ordered it there instead. oh well hah too late now.

Justiceiro- im not in any rush. im actually saving for the tamron 28-75mm now. but if you still have your lens avail. lmk in a few weeks. thanks

I think you will dig the 50 1.8; I carry it a lot to parties and other "low light" events- you just can't beat getting a handheld shot with no flash. Also, it's cool to take tight DOF shots; best value of any lens I have ever bought.

I will let you know about the 35-135; if I get the 70-300 I won't have anything to cover the 55-70 range without that lens. I want to "walk around" for a week or so and see if it matters.

I'm in no rush. I'd rather spend the extra cash and get something that will satisfy me than save a buck and get something that wont. ill still consider yours when and if you want to part with it, but im really leaning towards the 28-75 tamron.

Well I have a 50mm 1.8 for sale. Probably used it twice. It still looks new. I have no need for it cause I have the 85mm 1.8

$70 including shipping.

Includes a Hoya UV filter and a 58mm - 52mm step down ring for those macro shots.

I recently found out I had an extra mk1 50mm 1.8 laying in the house from our previous film body so I had to sell the mk2 to Renee (Nee7x7) here :wink Just in case you're wondering the only big diff between the two is the non plastic build and louder motor on the mk1 but optically, theyre the same. Not a big deal!

But I'm still looking for more lenses for under $100!
I doubt I'll find this, but I'd like to pick up something around 17mm with the smallest possible aperture possible so I can start using my camera for work.
28mm is good, its not enough for me, but I will consider it!

Email/PM me!

Thanks to everyone who emailed/replied as well.
