Been looking around for an EF 50mm F1.8 mk II recently. Average price going around CS is about $120... Called Cathay and found out that a brand new one comes $145... I did not feel the urge to save $20 on a second hand over a brand new one and had wanted to buy it from Cathay.
That was before I walked past Camera Workshop and low and behold, saw a 50mkII in the showcase... Price tag was $85... Hmmm... tempting... Inspected the lens; clear and in good physical condition. No warranty nor box though (not an issue with me as long as there is the front and rear caps). Managed to knock $5 off it bargaining and am now a proud owner of the 50mkII.
