for what?...i don't even know what you would want out of it...if you're after just a film body you can get one cheaper than that...

if you're getting it to use the lens on your 5D, there are better options probably...although you'd have to spend a bit more

If you are after a good low cost lens, try to find a 24-85mm. If you really want to get a film body, find an EOS 3.

Ya, was just looking for a general lens for the 5D, but I passed on it. Seems pretty poor optically.
