Free Canon EOS 50/1.8II from rkkwan
I know this is not really travel related, but I know many of you use the Canon EOS system here and we have plenty of long threads about SLR photography, so I hope this doesn't get deleted.
I have a ~13 year old Canon 50/1.8II. That's the same cheapo model you can buy new for about $70 these days. I'm upgrading to a 50/1.4, so won't need this lens.
This is a "Made in Japan" version with the yellow macro flower. [Newer ones from Taiwan and Malaysia have white flowers.]
For those who are interested, I just want the shipping fees. The lens is free. Email me - rkkwan at earthlink dot net.
This is a recent gallery shot entirely with this lens. Indoor wedding, all handheld, no flash (except one).

BTW, this is not necessarily first come first serve...

Come to think of it, I have more if any of you want them:
EOS 35-80/4-5.6 (Kit lens that came with the original film Rebel, circa 1991 or so)
EOS 28-80/3.5-5.6 (This is the kit lens that come with later EOS Rebels, but I bought it new ~1999. In original packaging).
Tarmon 28-200/3.8-5.6 1st generation. From ~1993.
I figured all these have zero value (unlike the 50/1.8, which has some), but if any of you want them, they're yours.

Rkkwan,
Are you serious? What a nice thing to do!
I have the Canon Digital Rebel xt, and you gave me advice about a lens for it, the 17-85 IS lens which I now have. I have thought of getting the Canon 50/ 1.8 lens, too. I think it would be useful.
Thanks for the information that you give on these forums. I would like to have your give-away lens, if you so choose!

Marsh - It's still available. Please email me at rkkwan at earthlink dot net.
Anyways, posting on ebay cost money. And because of the age of the lens, I can't really ask for that much money. It's not worth my trouble to sell it that way.
Rather than have it gather dust (or worse, grow mold), I want someone to have a use for it.
