Kirislin Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Just thought I would mention that DWI is selling the Canon 50 1.4 at an amazingly cheap price right now. http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/...sp?idProduct=62 Be aware though that some of these lenses have problems as I can sadly attest to. I have mine back now though, after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing Canon fixed it free of charge. When it behaves itself, it's a beautiful lens and for less than $400 a very good price, I paid almost $600 for mine in Dec 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~*Shell*~ Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Just thought I would mention that DWI is selling the Canon 50 1.4 at an amazingly cheap price right now. Wow - that's a great price! I paid I think about $100 more than that for mine (at the end of last year) and then spent money on a lens hood for it so it was about $540 or something. It really is a beautiful lens! I haven't had a problem with mine at all but I know you have Kirislin! You know you want one Bec... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 1.4 focuses more quickly from what I've read. Edited April 17, 2010 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
