Uhm, unless I'm gravely mistaken, none of these lenses I mentioned is brand new (or even used) for $150. 10-22 is the cheapest and it's still twice as much used.. Now $1,500 - sure:-)
I think that's what I needed. Made up my mind. Now I just need to get it. I might be getting one brand new for like $150, so hopefully that goes through.
The 17-55 is $1030 new at B&H, however I might be able to get it for about $150. You read correct. :-D. Just have to wait forever as it's been about 2 months or so as it is...and still no word if it's 100% a go yet.
For $150?! Did the previous owner have any serious health problems? Is it radioactive? Hopefully there's no assembly required! I was only too thrilled when I found one locally for 600 ($CAN). All I know is I've got my fingers crossed for you
