snoop69 Messages 2,451 Name Paul Edit My Images Yes 11 Sep 2008 #1 Hi all, Ive been offered a Canon EF F4.5-5.6 55-200mm Mark 2 telephoto zoom lens for £70. It is boxed & in as new condition. Is this a good lens to have at that price & would it fit my newly purchased Canon 450d? Thanks in advance.

Depends if the lenses are any good, and £70 for the two would lead me to suspect not. The 55-250 is a very usable lens in a proper pro capacity, it's not just a hobby lens. You've got £70 now, save it. Have patience young grasshopper, next month you'll have £140 and you're almost there. Paired with the 450D the lens is a proper moneymaker. 1 days work = 1 lens
