A-50mm f/.1.4. The deal of the week. I think.

Ed in GA · 01-21-2008, 01:14 PM

I just bought an A-50mm f/1.4 lens from a seller on Craigslist.

The seller claims that the lens is in good condition. There was no photo, so I took his word for it.

I paid, delivered to me in Savannah, GA...... $40

Usually, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But, I figured for $40, I'd take a chance.

Wow!!!!!!

good luck! I hope it is in as good a shape as they say

Well, for 40 bucks I guess you couldn't go wrong. That's not a bad lens if it's as good as it sounds.

Nice one Ed, I'm looking for a deal like that!

Ed in GA · 01-25-2008, 08:40 AM

Wow, this was surely a find.

Except for a couple of small scatches on the body of the lens, this thing is like brand new. Clean, clear, perfect glass.

Great deal, I was chuffed that I found an A-50/1.7 for that price.

What a great score Ed! What I would like would be a K 85mm F1.8 for about $100.

If you find two of those, I'll double your money on one of them.
