Got a new nikon so all the Canon stuff has to go!

Canon 50mm F 1.8 nifty fifty. Great lens
Tamron 55 - 200 F4-5.6
Canon 18-55 (350d kit lens)

All lenses have hoods and uv filters.

Cost
50mm £60 plus postage
Tameron £60 plus postage
Canon 18- 55 £20 plus postage

The nifty 50 is a great lens. Its a lot of fun to use. The hood design is pretty bad. If you have a canon and dont have a 50mm lens then buy this one ;)

The Tamron is handy for the occasional use when you need a bit more reach. I prefer the wider end so haven't used that much to be honest.

The 18-55 is a standard kit lens and is pretty awful to be honest I stopped using it when I got the 50mm. The hood is a better design than the 50mm though.

Hello, where are you based?
Is the 18-55 lens the one with the optical stabilisation switch on the side as well as the auto focus? I'm interested in the 50mm. Check bank later.
Not seen the sun for months. Now evolving to see in the dark.
