Thats a 200 dollar lense, so do the math.  As long as everything is in good shape.


Oh wow, I honestly dont know anything about these cameras and I know arfcom has some amazing photographers so I opted to ask. Everything is in excellent shape I mean it could pass of as new, I figure I could ebay it if I find its to high end for me. So should I get it?

Thanks

Yeah, I have a feeling it might be like BRD. I may try to ask him if he will take lower.

Thanks

Xt's are still selling for $600+ for the body alone. I doubt he'll go lower. That lens is ok and will get you by until you really want to get into it and start dropping $500-$1500 on lenses. I'd find out how many shutter activations the camera has first.

Just talked to him and he said he would sell all of it for $475, I think thats a screaming deal.
