Where to get used equipment

[Acid0]

Hi

Could some of you mention a few places where I can look for second hand lenses to be precise.

I have purchased a Canon 550d + (18 - 55IS) + (55 - 250IS) lens bundle.

As far as I read they say that I will be able to use the 18 - 55 lens as everyday carry for a while.
But I need something that can zoom a bit more than the 250.

I dont have to see the flea on the lions behind from 200 meters but something that will not break the bank and that can zoom a bit more than the 250.

So I will invest in a 2nd hand one to start with and then move on to more expensive lenses if I really get into it.


Thanks for the help.

Wow - nice site!

Is it wise to buy used cameras?
Is it posssible to get shutter count on all SLRs?

Try your local camera shop. I recently sold a lens through our local shop and they have a policy whereby they hold the money back for a week to make sure the purchaser is happy with their goods. I steer clear of classifieds as there's often little recourse if something goes wrong.

BTW the lens I sold a 150-500mm sigma which might be worth you taking a look at.
