Bought a Rebel G2, okay, no good, but it had the nasty (from what I see anyway), 35-80 iii on it, $5. Then I got am EF 75-300 iii 4-5.6 for $15. Total: $20

Looks okay? 75-300 looks clean. All in the original box.

Those 35-80 turn into a fairly good macro lens with removal of the front element.

I have the 75-300 III USM - it is useable as a telephoto zoom if you know it's many weak points.
