We have bought a number of lenses (and cameras) on EBAY. We usually research the lenses on the manufacturers site first to find out which is the best lens, flash, etc then goto ebay and find the best deal. If you don't find exactly what you want, just wait, it will be there eventually (and soon).

Thats a good way to do it. I am into photography, but I have Canon cameras. Can't help with the Nikon.

I am such a sicko. I thought this was SPAM at first because I thought the title said "Is anyone into pornography?"

I was wondering that myself. :-P

I love my Canon. It isn't the highest end, but it takes beautiful photos.

Mike, one of the reasons I wanted the big-ass lens was for Red Rock Canyon :) If you have some time maybe you can share a photo or two?
