Picked Up A New Lens

Last night (Wednesday) I had a good Craig’s List experience. I’ve heard some horror stories about people selling/buying things on there so I figured I’d post about a good transaction. I’ve had the Canon 28-135 EF IS USM lens on my Amazon wishlist for about a year. With the Europe trip coming up I figured I shoudl go ahead and pull the trigger on it myself. The best deals were on used lenses, and Craig’s List had the best of the used prices. So for a mere $300 bones I was able to buy it from an amateur photographer in Westminster. Ironically, he purchased it just before his Honeymoon, also to London and Paris! He was a really nice guy, and the lens is awesome. Not only was he $40 under the lowest price I’d seen, but he also threw in a UV filter! Cool!
