Old Lenses

Post by BrickTop »

Hi guys, i know there is a buy and sell forum but i thought i'd post here as it's camera specific.

Im shooting with a 550D and atm only have a 50mm f/1.8 - i love it, but i would also like a some more lenses.

At the moment finances do not permit for the tamron 17-50 f/2.8 i want. So...

I was wondering if anyone had old lenses that they were thinking of selling?

Im pretty much after anything, as eventually I want to build up a substantial lens collection.

I thought the 70-200 was an L lens. Ill PM you, to be honest don't know if i have that sort of money yet - but thank you for the offer good sir.

PS, can i ask a quick question. Im looking for a good standard zoom lens. Something that is an L series...any suggestions.

Been looking at the Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8, has good reviews, but is there anything in the same class that rivals it?
