I think it is a funny thing how I am sat here for the last week watching the prices of camera equipment on eBay. I have a lens listed that I am more than happy to get rid of. It is in perfect condition and barely used two months, but I don’t really need or want this particular lens, and would much rather put the money to use on getting a lens I do want, and need. The price on my lens went quickly from £0.99 to just over £100. Now it is sat at £155, and has remained there for several days. I would really love to get £250 out of it. It should go for more, but I set my expectations and hopes lower.
Then there is the lens I want to get. It is a genuine Nikon lens, and it zooms from 17-55mm. It also stays at f/2.8 through that entire range, which is G-R-E-A-T!!! The only thing is, it retails for over £1,000! I have found one new on eBay for £800. Would I love that lens? I think so! I have tried it out in a shop, and WOW!!! The focus is so fast, and dead silent. It zooms beautifully, and feels like a rock hard piece of kit in my hands.
So, I am watching the prices of the dream lens, hoping it will stay down while watching the price on my lens, hoping for it to go up!
