ABCs - Adorama, B&H Photo and Cameta as well as Amazon are all reliable sources. Another often overlooked source is KEH.

So an "ISO lens" is a "fast lens" in "21st century speak" ?
I'm just trying to learn all this new language you guys invent ! :XD:

Start at KEH.com. Just type in: EF 35

Then, filter by Brand = Canon and you'll see the options and the relative prices for anywhere else you shop.

No, it is not indicating a fast lens. The expression "ISO 35mm lens for Canon EOS" as written makes very little sense. It sounds like a marketeer's slang. Indications of a "fast" lens might be f/1.2, or f/1.4, describing the amount of light the lens allows. You are being very wise to have your doubts, that shows "experience."

"ISO" in the title is used as a common abbreviation for "in search of".
Amazing how some people limit their reading of various terms and then choose to ridicule others over it.

After checking the archive here I found only ONE item using this abbreviation. "Common"?

If you use this forum as a guide to life, that's very sad.
The term has been used for decades in advertising, real estate, and especially in personal ads and dating sites.
