What!?! I beg to differ, no offense, but $350 is about the lowest price you will find this EF-S lens for (assuming, it's one you'd want). 🤔 eBay does have a number of them tho.

Sorry everyone! You're absolutely right. I misread the original posting, especially Rob909.

That's a kit lens for both Canon and Nikon. There should be many available for less than $80 on eBay.

Just for clarification:

Are you wanting EF, or will EF-S be OK?

Do you need IS?

I ask these questions because when I bought one for my {now dead} Rebel, eBay had lots of them; they were kit lens, and many people were dumping them as soon as they found something better.
