Where the heck can I get one of these... I want one for the first weekend in April, everyone is outta stock...
Does anyone have a wider angle lens that would be almost as good as this one... I need fast but I don't have the cash to drop 300 bucks on a prime lens, at least according to the wife I don't :) I would drool over anything in the 24mm range, but I haven't seen much worth buying or affordable.
I really like my 28 2.8. Excellent optics and a 44mm equivalent on the 10D/300D. $160-170.

heres an idea, how about a local camera store, Im sure your gonna pay more $$, but they have a better chance of having them in stock, I know mine does, I think its around 90 dollars..
i was lookin here in town, and there are like $600. I believe the ones i was looking at were USM lenses and also IS ... but does that make THAT much of a difference... 70... that isn't much more than the lens hood and uv filter.....

It is made cheap (plastic and couple of glass elements) and is not water proof,moisture can go into it...
Keep it on dry and safe place!

I don't believe any of the optical elements are plastic, though much of the lens body is. No camera lenses, save those for use on underwater cameras like the Nikonos, are waterproof. Some, like the Canon L lenses are sealed against dust and moisture, but are by no means waterproof. Keeping your lens dry and in a safe place is good advice with any camera lens.
