Hi I am a beginner in DSLR who have a Canon 500d for a few months. I am thinking of upgrading the lens. Due to the high cost of original Canon lenses, I am considering buying used lens including those off warranty ones. However, I am concerned that after spending hundreds or even thousand of $, the lens might just kaput (died). Nowadays, lenses come with high electronic components for auto focus, image stabilizer and motor drive (USM). How durable are these modern lenses?
Is there a average lifespan for lens as there is for DSLR?
Appreciate that the experienced, the wise and the experts can share their experience and enlighten me.
thank you very much.
