For about two months, I have been stalking two local camera store's websites, looking for an used, affordable "big" lens in good condition. At least, anything significantly larger than the 18-55mm that came with my camera. It doesn't go very far :-D
Last Saturday I found "the one", but when I called...they were already closed until Monday. Their branch store didn't have the information on it, and I was told I couldn't put it on hold. So, first thing Monday morning (one minute after they opened :-D, lol) I called and found that it would work for my camera!!
A Vivitar lens with a Canon mount, it was a 28-300mm for only....$85!!!! I bought it!
But later that day I heard Mom on the phone. It was the camera shop. The lens had been put on hold by someone else.
I was so dissapointed, until Mom finished her sentence-
They had a ProMaster lens, same good condition, would fit my camera, same focal length for an even better price of $65!! Talk about a God-Thing.
I got it yesterday and I love it!!!! Only thing is that it wiggles a lot when I have it zoomed out all the way, so the next thing on my list is a mono-pod. I think one of those would be a lot easier to carry around than a tri-pod because there is only one leg to deal with :-)
I have photographs on my camera, so I'll have to unload them this weekend and post a few. And take a pic of my lens :-D
It is such fun to have a lot of zoom!!! It'll be a blast at re-enactments, basketball games, horse shows, etc.

Praise the Lord! And I've not heard of a monopod - fun! I know you'll enjoy working with the new lens.
Gods and Generals is one of my favorite movies. We watched in the theater when it first came out, and have watched it many times after that. Isn't it so good?
Blessings,
