How crazy is this?

No one currently seems to have a canon 50mm f1.8 lens in stock. Back-order
everywhere! B and H, Adorama, KEH and pretty much all local dealers don't
have any. Seems no one is buying them anymore...
So until then, I'll be without my 50mm, since I have loaned it to my brother
who's taking a photography course...

 

Could be the other way around - lots of people have bought them and
exhausted the supplies.
After all, it is the "thrifty fifty" ;-)

 

Are you looking for a 50 FD ?

Could be! Great lens...it's just too bad that they seem hard to get - you'd
think it'd be the contrary!
I just checked B and H and they *just* got some...called right away. The
operator said that they go real quick...

 

Are you looking for a 50 FD ?
EOS - sorry I should have specified.
I don't think I'd have a problem finding a 50mm FD - those things are
everywhere!!!

 

No my fault ....I have an extra one, FD that is.

 

Pretty insane! Next time you'll know to lend your brother the money
to buy one, and hang onto the lens itself...

I'll sell you mine for $110 if you're in the states.

 

I've been waiting for an EW-60C hood for my dReb kit lens for 3 months.
Everywhere I call says they're back ordered. I think Canon's production
capability is a bit overwhelmed by the success of both digital bodies and EF
lenses.

 

I'll sell you mine for $110 if you're in the states.
Sounds like a deal!
Also, if you have any airports or bridges for sale, let me know, as I'm
looking to add to my collection ; )

Maybe one "slightly used" fighter jet, but that's about all. Doing a quick
check on ebay, those lenses are now selling for close to $100 plus shipping,
likely due to the shortage. I wish I had gotten one with a metal base,
though. I don't like the feel of the plastic mount.

 

I've got one with the metal mount -- big deal department. I bought it
because it was considerably cheaper used than the plastic mount was new. And
that is about the only reason to buy one.

 

mine broke, i only have manual focus.
cant seem to find one either
i guess all the digital people are eating it up.

z-one-b choreographed a chorus line of high-kicking electrons to spell
out:

Tangential pondering: Wonder just how many of some of these lenses
are picked up as a result of newsgroup/forum talk? As one example, how the
DPReview forums seem to eventually drive everyone to buy a 135 f/2 and/or
the 100-400 IS or 400 f/5.6...

 

These folks _may_ have one in stock. If not, they could probably get you
one in 10 days or so.
