louist · 9th August 2006

Hi All,

Am new here.

Any advice on where or who has a good price for the piece?

Is it a good lens to go with EOS 10D?

Thanks!

I'm selling one copy at $100, got it 2 months ago from Oracle.

It costs about $135-$140 from one of the authorised retailers... I bought mine from someone who did not like it after buying it for 2 weeks (from Oracle). Spent $110. However, Oracle's 50mm f1.8 is made in Malaysia. I can see nothing wrong with that (should be the same thing)... but I think we should highlight it for transparency.

I got a good sharp piece... but I'm using the 35mm more these days.

Made in M'sia? Still an original Canon, yes? Where are the others made in? Taiwan/Japan?

It's an original Canon... Most other Canon lenses are made in Japan.
