Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS + Canon 50mm f/1.8 II + accessories

Upgrading my gear!

I just bought my Canon T1i kit and lenses this past August and I'm loving it enough to want to invest in some higher-end glass. I really only want to get rid of the lenses if I can sell them together as a package or find two simultaneous buyers, otherwise I won't be able to buy the lens I'm looking to replace them with.

Up first is the EFS 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens. I really enjoyed this lens, it has been perfectly sharp for me, the IS works great, and the focus is fast. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I want to upgrade to the 17-55mm f/2.8. As you can tell from the close-ups of the front and rear elements (see below), there is zero damage, dust, or mold. The lens is in pristine condition. It has had either a UV, Polarizer, or Infrared filter attached since day one and has been very well taken care of. I will throw in the UV for free with purchase.

Next is the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II 'Nifty Fifty'. This lens lets in a ridiculous amount of light and is very sharp to boot. Many sites recommend these as portrait lenses as they use very high quality optics despite the "plasticy" looking build and deliver some creamy smooth bokeh. This should be everyone's first prime lens! Again, there is zero damage, dust, or mold on this lens and I've included close-up shots below.

Included with the 50mm lens is a Hoya 52mm UV filter (on the lens since day one), and a 52-58mm step-up ring so that it can share filters with the kit lens.

The hoods are in!

Obviously not OEM, but reasonable facsimiles cast from a similar mold. The bayonets are tight and I've confirmed that there is no vignetting when zoomed out. Either way. they're free with purchase of the lenses

Take everything above for $265 shipped!

I have perfect (45) feedback on eBay as 3ntreri, and perfect (14) feedback on Heatware as SilverMK3


Also available, if the two lenses sell, are a Hoya 58mm Circular Polarizer and a Hoya 58mm R72 Infrared filter.

Just realized I also have a Vivitar 52mm Close-Up Filter set (+1, +2, and +4) that I would have no use for if I were to sell 50mm. It would be included with purchase.

I am interested in the 50mm. How much for just the 50mm? Let me know if you want to separate them or when the other one sells.

Have a pending sale on the pair... Will update this thread when I know more!
