First of all, I'm not really sure if selling items here is restricted to laser related stuff so let me know if I'm doing a no-no.
I know there are some of you that are experimenting with photography so I suppose it's relevant. Use this lens for some great beamshots!

I have for sale a Canon 28mm f/1.8 USM lens + Pearstone twist-on lens hood.
This item was purchased in July 2011 and used once that summer on vacation.
The lens is in excellent condition with the exception of the front lens cover which has some minor scratches. Pictures below.

Some info about the lens:
This is a PRIME LENS, so do not expect to be able to zoom.

This is a moderately wide angle lens but used on a 1.6 FOVCF camera body (like Canon Rebel or X0D) the full-format equivalent is 44mm.

The wide aperture of f/1.8 allows for shooting in very low light conditions and dramatic background blur.

This lens utilizes Canon's USM autofocus motor.Autofocus is very quiet, fast, and accurate.

Asking: $430 + shipping



Also, some photos I have taken with this lens:

Arg. If the timing was right, I'd be all over this for my 5DMkII. Unfortunately I can't right now. If for some reason it doesn't sell and is still available later, though, well...

Interesting timing. :) I just bought the Canon Rebel bundle at Sam's Club. I wouldn't mind adding this lens, but I pretty much blew all of extra money on the Camera this month. :(

I have the cheap 50mm prime for my T2i and it's a pretty sweet lens. Wider + USM would be sweet but I don't have dough for it. Good luck selling though :)

Also very cute lizard.

@aryntha: I don't expect this to sell very soon. I would like to have it sold by the end of the month but I doubt that will happen. I'm guessing you have your money tied up with CNI... Very unfortunate. I hope it gets sorted soon.

@others: This lens would be great on a small body like a Rebel. I shoot with a 60D and the focal length, speed, and lightweight but solid build is a great combo.
I typically don't use my lenses for their "intended" purpose - as you can see, I used this 28mm lens primarily for some intimate shots of animals. This lens makes a great "walk around" lens and the short minimum focus distance is great for indoors and even modest macro shots (although this is not going to stack up to a true dedicated macro).

By the way, it's a baby gecko. I almost crushed the poor little guy with my camera bag. Were it not for the bright colors, I may not have seen it. Unfortunately, the law prevented me from taking the little guy home from Hawaii. It was tempting, though.

Tempting.... just bought a GTX590 for 749.00CAD damn Canadian overpricing!

Will think about it.
