Op listed 28-135 IS as a "cheap" lens, last i look it was 479 at b&h, don't know what they meant by cheap? Looks like any lens under that price is fair game to post 40D Gripped, 50D, T2I Gripped, 5D Mark III Gripped, EF-S 18-55 IS, EF-S 55-250 IS

Considering I paid $250 for it new... yes. Levina de Ruijter wrote in post #17154004 I always thought that the word "cheap" in the title does not just refer to the price tag. And how else would it be meant? twoshadows wrote in post #16228881 For the purposes of this thread, let's keep it real cheap. No "L"s to be sure and most prosumer glass is not what I'd consider cheap. I'm talking nifty fifty, pancake, 28-135IS & 28-105 II, 18-55, cheap third party glass, etc. Let's show 'em that it is the photographer and not the equipment.  I consider anything under $300 new to be a "cheap" lens. Fuji X-T3 // Fuji X-Pro2 (Full Spectrum) // Fuji X-H1 // Fuji X-T1

EverydayGetaway Cream of the Crop More info | Sep 16, 2014 20:20 | #518 ^I have one too and honestly I don't think it's nearly as bad as people make it out to be. I still have mine, but I pretty much never use it since I have my Vivitar S1 70-210mm, but I don't bother selling it because it's basically worthless to sell...
