I just purchased a used Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens from a friend of mine for 3,000PHP (68USD) which retails for 4,500 (100USD) . It’s nothing fancy but it’s a good lens for beginners like me to take decent portrait shots. I can finally have a substitute to the regrettable kit lens I got.
Once I get the hang of this lens I plan on acquiring a lens for panoramic and high speed shots… though I am hoping someone will just give me one as a gift on my birthday *wink wink*. If I end up buying it myself (which will most likely be the case) I’ll definitely look for the best deal can get my hands on.
