canon 50mm f1.8 mk2 offer

[Ghost in the Shell]

used but mint condition

package as above - ive been offered this for £75 delivered

comments?

how much is the hard case and UV filter worth anyway as the lens can be got for approx £70-£80 new anyway i guess?

ok well i got it in the end for £60

the lens is mint condition (as new to me) and the filter is a B+W 52E KR1.5 1.1

leather case is nice too will hold onto my 35-80 in that as i think the 50 will get a lot of use from me

yea i was trying to hold out for a mk1 but then i thought the best thing to do is probably get a cheapish mkII then provided i find it useful and worthwhile etc. save up for the 1.4 version as theres no difference between the mkI and mkII so if its just for vanity its not worth it.

the mkI are generally going for £100-£110+ on the bay at the mo!! what is that all about - how to make a cheap lens more expensive than it should be eh!

The construction on the Mk 1 was metal unlike the plastic of the Mk2, hence the price being higher as people want it for the metal construction.

yea exactly my point - ill spend the extra on the 1.4 if i ever decide the mkii is in need of replacing.
