We've been searching craiglist and such for deals for a couple weeks but haven't seen anything. Now that my other half has switched over from Nikon, we need to get him some new flashes and we need lenses as well. If anyone has a 50 1.4 or an 85 1.8 and they plan to upgrade, let us know what you want for it. Same goes for your flashes. We are probably going to have to go with 430 EX's right now due to budget. If you are upgrading to a 580 and want to part with your 430, drop me a PM with the price.
If we can save a few bucks buying used and help out an OSPer, that would be great!
Hope WTB ads aren't frowned upon here!

No help selling anything, but you should check out fredmiranda.com's buy and sell forum. It is EXTREMELY active and you should be able to find what you need relatively quickly there. 
We've been watching it, but neither myself nor Andy are regulars there and it frankly makes me nervous to buy something from an unknown person without going through eBay or some other entity that will try to protect our interests.

Yeah, I've bought on there (they have a feedback system built in now too) but have been much more comfortable buying from people here that I "know" as well.
as soon as my 50 1.2 arrives, i'll hve my 50 1.4 and it is in mint condition.
Lynn,
Just as a note, I LOVE my 50 1.4 now. We sold the 50 1.8 and moved to the 1.4 and haven't looked back. So sharp and the low light is amazing. Bokeh at 1.4 is crazy. It is my new favorite after the 70-200 2.8IS of course.

For anyone who has had the 50 1.2 and 1.4 how would you compare them? Is it worth all the extra moola for the 1.2? If so, why?
