How common is it to come across used lenses and D/SLRs in thrift stores and flea markets?
I got this Canon EOS Rebel S II for $18 in a peddler's mall a while back and I am now really wanting to switch to DSLR instead of my point and shoot camera.
It has Canon ef 35-80mm 1:4-5.6 lens, which from what I've read is one of the worst lenses Canon ever released. But if I buy a used DSLR it should still work until I come across another lens. Right?
I guess I'm asking how viable is thrifting as a means of collecting photography gear.
