- 70-200L f/2.8 IS (used 9.9) + canon uv filter +hood
- 24-70L f/2.8 (used 9.0) + canon uv filter +hood.
- 580EX ii (used 9.5)
- monopod + quick release head Manfrotto (unused)
- Canon backpack (unused)
Total= $3000.00
Is it good deal?

2.8 / 24mm for 150 EUR 2nd hand without any hints that it has seen any usage
2.0 / 100mm for 340 EUR new
EUR and $ have similar "value" (if taxes between different countries are taken into account)
Both lenses are really boring in terms of specs but make a good couple on APS-C cams (40 and 160mm equiv) and perhaps in the near future on a FF cam.

Re: What's the best deal you've ever gotten on a lens? I'll start...
Wow that makes me incredibly grateful for the prices I've gotten on stuff, I guess there is a tax that stops you from ordering at US prices?
ruuneos said:I live in Finland, 5D3 costs here is 3800€ what is $5000So I could get almost 2x 5D3 in US instead of one in Fin.

I was looking for an inexpensive lightweight walk-about lens for my 7D a few months ago. Found Canon's 17-85 with IS on ebay and won it, in mint condition...box, registration, and with tiffen haze filter, for $212. Not the best of lenses I know, but a considerable savings over a new one and hard if not impossible to tell the difference. $599 as of a few minutes ago.

About 3 years ago I got a Canon 18-200 new from either B&H or Adorama for $370. Of course it sits in a box waiting to be sold, I think I used it twice. I can't remember if it was a price mistake or what the deal was, it as on Slickdeals... I also got my 7D for $1500 including the 18-135 from Newegg 2 years ago. Sold the lens, body ended up being $1200 which was a fantastic deal back then. Also Slickdeals.

I recently got a Canon 50mm 1.8 Mark I by trading an original Zoom H4 recorder, valued at about $70.
The nifty fifty mark I is worth like $175.
Also got a pretty much new-in-box Zeiss ZE 50mm f/1.4, sniped off ebay for $550. Hard to find these under $700 in EF mount.
