What to charge for a Canon 50-200mm

[indysgirl4ever]

I have a Canon EF 50-200mm 3.5-4.5. I want to sell it and have searched everywhere and all I have found is that it is a very rare lens that apparently no one is selling right now (at least not online). I have no idea what to charge for it and was wondering if anyone knew what it is worth or has any suggestions for me. Thank you!!

That's because there's no such thing.

There's an old 55-200 f/4.5-5.6, which goes for about $230 US NEW (on Amazon).

If there is no such thing then how come it is sitting right here next to me! Seriously though, are you saying what I have is fake? I have seen sites where other people have had the same lens as well, they just weren't selling them. Google it and you will find some photos of it.

I googled "Canon 55-200 f/3.5-4.5" and got nothing. All the results I got for that focal range were 4-5.6 or 4.5-5.6.

If it's so easy to find, link to it somewhere.

It is a 50-200mm not 55-200mm.

The last link is is photo of the lens itself. Only mine doesn't have a red ring around it.

My mistake: most people newbies (Ie people with less than 50 posts) tend to make typos with this kind of thing. I also read it wrong. That being said, I think your attitude (in your first response to me) was uncalled for.

Only price I saw for that was $215 CAD. That's about $185 US.

I apologize for my attitude. I was not intending to be rude. I was very upset by your responses to me, but that is no excuse. Please forgive me.

Thank you for the price. I couldn't seem to find one anywhere. I really do appreciate it.

Is this a serious point of discussion on a site for people who love and like to learn about photography? Sorry...

And your point is? It may be "different" but it certainly falls within the realm of a discussion related to "Other Digital Photography Gear".

I have no problem with the subject of discussion itself, but do think that it was becoming to personal, and not about the lens anymore...
