A decent DSLR camera body can run you $500, but a half-decent lens can run you that or more! The oh-so-popular 50mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.8 are well over $200 each, and there are some sweet macro and telephoto lenses whose prices go into the quadruple digits.

So, how do you outfit your camera body with those must-have lenses without forking over a car payment or two for them? Start by scouring garage sales and yard sales. You’d be amazed at the cheap lenses that can be found there, thanks to owners and auctioneers not knowing the true worth of some of their wares. You can often find great deals on eBay and other auction websites. Finally, check out local thrift stores, pawn stores, and camera shops. You may be able to pick up a decent used lens for less than half of what you would pay for it brand new.
