A cheap Canon EF or EF-S Lens for $400 or less?




Panda


I want to know any cheap canon EF lens but it must be:

- not an 18-55mm kit lens (i already have one)
- under $400
- a USM motor and IS would be nice
- may be BOUGHT USED OR NEW (i've seen 28-135mm lens for $270 on amazon)
- no super zooms
- prime or wide angle zoom lens

obviously on this budget, i don't have money to buy canon's ef L series, so yeah. ALSO READ THE DESCRIPTION THROUGHLY BEFORE YOU ANSWER. thank you
ANSWER THE QUESTION, SPAMMERS
A REAL ANSWER PLEASE NOT SOME GIBBERISH.



Answer
The cheapest lens around would be the Canon EF 50mm F1.8 at about $100. It is a good sharp lens though it does kind of feel like a toy. It is still very good for portraits and low light. It does not have a USM motor but it is auto focus.

Another good choice is the Canon EFs 55-250mm IS $250. This is good if you want some more reach.

Another option is the EF 50mm F1.4 $400. Again a very sharp lens good for portraits and low light. It is a USM lens as well.

Also the 85mm F1.8 $400. Another fast lens good for low light and portraits.

Answer
It really depends on what you want to photograph with it. There are many very sharp lenses made by Canon for under $500.

For portraits and the like you can't beat the 50mm F1.4 ($400) or 85mm F1.8 ($400). Even cheaper would be the 50mm F1.8 ($120). All of these are very sharp are great in low light and will give a nice shallow depth of field for portraits.

For sports or something you need a bit more reach with the EFs 55-250mm IS is a very good lens. Cost is $250.

The link below has Canon lenses between $300 and $500. They are all good sharp lenses.
