HELP - advice needed re Canon camera lens

24-11-2010
I am looking to buy a lens for my hubby's Canon EF 50mm 1.4 camera.

So far, every one I come across (new) is about £250 - £400.

I realise that camera lenses are mucho dollar, but I am really needing to try and get that figure down.

With the exception of E-bay (I am watching a few), does anyone know of somewhere I can look for a less expensive, new one?

There's a good market for quality yet second hand lenses.... any particular reason you are discounting them?

Sorry the EF 50mm 1.4 is a lens not a camera body. The 1.4 itself is a fairly expensive lens. Each lens has a different purpose so there is no way we can advise you on what to buy. It's something your hubby would need to do.

He's just a bit fussy!! He likes to have things brand new. He's such a snob!

I know nothing about cameras so I'm sorry if my original post was a bit jumbled!!

I guess I'll have to just get him to buy whatever it is that he wants and I'll just foot the bill! Gulp!

Thanks guys for your help.
