Here it's like 500$ Also the camera body is like 600$ (the T2i) so overall it'll be like 1100$ which is way too expensive.. The problem is also that I'm not quite sure how much I'm gonna use it... there aren't too many beautiful views or anything around here and plus I'll be in the army in like a year, and then there won't be any time to use it. Well I'll have to think about this, thanks a lot man!
