Hey guys I have a lens question.
I am looking into getting a 180mm macro. I have been looking at the Canon and the 3rd party lenses.
I can find the Canon lens for $1100 used but "excellent" condition however the lens new is only another $260 dollars. Is there really any advantage or disadvantage to buying brand new? I mean when spending that much money another $260 isn't a huge amount.
Or should I keep looking at the 3rd party lens for cheaper?
Like the Sigma is $700. But I guess I am just stuck on "but the Canon is an "L" lens"
Kind of undecided but I know one of these will be my next lens so I want to do the research because I am hoping to buy within 2-3 months so I have plenty of time to buy and save up
