go to ebay - type "50mm lens" in search - there's an old canon on right now that closes in about 5 mins for $5

ALRIGHTY THEN!

it doesnt have to be canon does it, i mean, a camera with nikon or minolta mount will work as well, correct?

I honestly don't know anything more about it - just read briefly what Jacko did. I know that some old slrs have screw type and some have bayonet type mounts - but I'm sure there's someone else here that can help you out with the specs.

JACKO!

I dont think it will matter what brand just the thread size(of the front of the lens). Try for the clearest, cleanest glass though(that you can get for $5) ;)

On second thought, a local pawn shop might be the easiest way.

okey dokey.

I've heard good things about KEH Photo.

it has to be an AF lens, or can it just be manual?
