May 05, 2011 15:58 | #6 I wouldn't doubt it. The guy was said that lens hasn't been in stock for a while. I'm sure you can get them cheaper but the places I buy online that I trust cost around $130-$150 plus shipping and handling and BB had it for $130 and I get it that day. That is how I figured it. And at Amazon, some places does not even have them. Canon (60D Gripped | 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS | 40mm f2.8 | 50mm f1.8 | 70-200 F4L IS| 430 EXII)

May 05, 2011 19:00 | #9 Even if I could of gotten it cheaper, I'm still happy with the price I paid and I would do it again. Only used the lens for 50 shots and they all came out great. I love that lens. Canon (60D Gripped | 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS | 40mm f2.8 | 50mm f1.8 | 70-200 F4L IS| 430 EXII)
