Sorry if this has been covered before, but 15 minutes of searching yeilded no results.

I just order my D50 body, and I plan on getting a used Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5 DX (the one that come with the D70 kit). Any recomendations for where I should look for used lenses, besides ebay or craigslist?

Look at www.nikoncafe.com

They have a clasidied area that works like the one here. You have to make a few posts in iother areas first before you can post there. But it keeps it honest and keep the "drive bys" away. I've seen several 18-70mm lenses sold there. Try posting a WTB ad. They seem to work there.

Thanks for the recomendations! I just purchased a basically new Nikkor DX 18-70 f/3.5 from a nice fellow over at fredmiranda.com for $200.
