don't think i can pull off paying for an IS for a while, might go for it. however, a brand new lens is only $700, that's why i'm asking. save 20% for a two year old lens?

assuming it's in good condition i don't see why not.
even though brand new is another 20%, it depends how you feel about having the extra cash- you'd be saving quite a bit, and since the lens will retain value pretty well compared to others, you'll still be able to get a good return out of it if you choose to upgrade.
if you only had the money for the used lens now, you'd have to save to buy brand new- and depending on how long that takes for you that could be a lot of missed photos  | |

Just check the lens thoroughly, especially the AF - make sure it's focusing properly.

Never even thought about checking the date codes on lenses, so I was curious and checked all of mine last night. They were all manufactured within a few months before I bought them. The one the surprised me the most though was my 300mm 2.8 which was only made June 2010. I would have thought lenses would sit on the shelf longer that.

during the shoot I never noticed as I havn't every done family portraits and the dad, "had a lot of ideas". Either way, great call, and I agree.
I also think it's too hot Quote:

But now that you say it, either one way or the other would be good. To me, the son with his hand clenched kinda throws things off.
I need to be more assertive of the details for sure.
