LeeRatters Cream of the Crop  More info | Sep 21, 2011 03:32 | #6753 i bought it new because the used prices [here at least] weren't really enough of a saving to warrant taking the risk imo i even watched a used one sell on ebay for MORE than going to the local shop & buying it over the counter full price!!

How does it focus in low light situations? Im going to give this lens a try after two inconsistent copies of the Sigma 50mm. Input appreciated! I bought mine used on here, and have had no issues whatsoever. Head Photography

Headsick wrote in post #13138386 I bought mine used on here, and have had no issues whatsoever. ^^^ glad to hear. Buying used on here is a pretty safe bet, but, the savings in this case I don't think are much. rpaul wrote in post #13139339 I bought this one refurb. Very happy with it. Blurr Cube wrote in post #13139069 Another option is refurbished with 90 day warranty: http://shop.usa.canon.com …uct_10051_10051_269493_-1 About $320 and in stock, atm. Focus in low light is good. About the same to the 28mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8 for me. ^^^ Thanks for the input. Glad to hear its about as good as the rest... thats good enough for me. As for buying refurbished I can't! The Canon USA website won't sell to Canadian's! ---Jay---
