Hey All,

I have been using the 15-45mm kit lens on my XT30, but am now beginning to get annoyed by the power zoom feature. I am considering trading the lens in for the 18-55mm lens and hence had a couple of questions in relation to this:

(1) Does anyone know what could explain the price difference on Amazon for this lens?

Listing 1 - XF18-55mm f/2.8 for CDN 530

Listing 2 - XF18-55mm f/2.8 for CDN 939

I can understand some variation, but the first option is nearly 50% off the 2nd. How is this possible?

(2) Is Kjiji my best bet for used lenses or are there other more reliable/safer options? My only concern with buying a used lense is the possibility of ending up with a lemon.

Thanks!

There’s no such thing as an 18-55 f/2.8. One of those listings is likely for the the 16-55 f/2.8 and the other for the (cheaper) variable aperture 18-55 f/2.8-f/4.
