There is a few 2nd hand hop at Peninsula Plaza (City Hall). You can take a look there see if any...For The price, it depend on the lens you buying...:think:

Good luck for your search...

I think you should
1) find out from the net or other sources what type of lens your yashica FX-3 Super 2000 body uses
2) figure out what type of lens you need
(like how many mm to how many? a wide and tele lens would be good)
3) try to do a search for the type of lens you need in forum, see whether people are still selling. (Maybe you can put up a want to buy post?)
4) if you lazy to find out all these, maybe just go to 2nd hand shop at Peninsula Plaza(as said by Goldenstar08).

Because I feel that 2nd hand shop will take hammer:devil: and suck $$ out of you.
Or maybe its just my opinion

(Someone please correct me if any information above is incorrect)

Just my comments

i wldnt goto 2nd hand shops. i think i trust CSers more than 2nd hand shops. not to mention tt TCW has quite high prices e.g. EF-S 18-55 is going for $150.

Ok, will try to put in plain English.

What are you going to shoot? People, landscapes, indoor, outdoor, etc, The current lens is what we call a zoom lens for taking pics at a far distance. If you need to take pics of people, then look for a lens with 28-70mm, 28-80mm, 28-105mm, or even 28-200mm.

These are all called wide angle to zoom lenses and are use full for travelling purposes. In a sense, you do not need to carry more than 1 lense with you.

Look up the Buy & Sell thread for others who may want to sell theirs or go to MS Color, Cathay Photo, Alan Photo or TCW to enquire about lenses.

Cheers......
