I am selling my 50mm 1.8. My Lens collection is filling out nicely and with all the expensive lenses I find myself not using my Original Aquatic lens.

If you are on a budget with a Canon DSLR, you should try this lens, it's exceptional for aquatic photography, specially without flash, and is a great shalow DOF portrait lens.

It's in Great condition. I paid $75 plus shipping for it, will take $60 postage paid in cont. US, or plus shipping anywhere else.

Here are some pics, it's in VERY good condition.

LOL , man, I am on FM, just bought 2 lenses this week. :) I just have not gotten serious about selling it (and a few other things) wanted to offer it first to an APF member. It's truely a great starter lens.

You would have to pay a lot more to get a lense any better than this and a great starter lense for aquatic shots . $ 60.00 shipped is a very fair price for a proven good copy .
I hadn't used mine in a long time and took a few shots last week with it .
I focused on the 1/4 to 1/2 at f/1.8 with just the kitchen lights on at my snack .

Thx, Ron. Yeah, great lens. All my early shots were with this one till I got my 100mm macro.
