    need a 55-250 lens for canon eos rebel xsi

    they're $300 at best buy. can't do that. i see them in some places used for $80 more or less, some refurbished. i've never bought camera equipment except at a store. i need to find on in the next two weeks.

    any suggestions? i am not a camera person any more than i am a computer person.

    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

    Yep, don't hesitate to buy refurbished from Canon... I've purchased cameras and lenses and they're all just about perfect.

    I bought my SL1 from the refurb site two years ago and it's been great. Plan to buy more stuff from there for sure.
