Hey guys, I'm about to put some lenses up for sale on eBay. I figured I'd first offer them here. I'm living in Switzerland though, so I guess it's easier to sell to people also living in Switzerland or Europe.

AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED

Click for larger image

Including filter, pouch, hood, caps. Always had a filter on it. Still has 1.5 years warranty left. Great condition. Selling it because I got a Tokina 50-135 f/2.8 instead now. Will sell for about 200 CHF (Swiss Francs) + shipping.

AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G

Including pouch, hood, caps. Still has 2 years warranty left. Selling it because I'm not using it at all, not the biggest fan of this lens. I prefer my 35mm. Will sell for about 320 CHF + shipping.

Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Fish-Eye

Including pouch and caps. This is the Nikon version of the lens. Due to a dispute with Samsung, this lens is sold under different names in the US (Rokinon, Opteka, Bower...). Great condition, works wonderfully. I'm selling it because I want to get the Nikon fish-eye. Will sell for about 250 CHF + shipping.

Helios 58mm f/2

Click for larger image

Including caps and Nikon adapter. Fun lens to play with but I actually never use it. Will sell for 50 CHF + shipping.

So if anyone is interested, please let me know and we'll work something out. If not I'll throw them on eBay in a few days!

You can type the amount in google "250 CHF to USD" or "250 CHF to CAD" it will convert it to whichever currency you prefer. Either way the Swiss franc (CHF) is very close to a US and Canadian dollar.

assuming you're on crop, are there significant differences between a 50 and a 35? thinking about buying one. 50 turns into 80 and 35 turns into about 52 so idk, i've heard good things about 50's and mediocre about 35's.

I own the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G and the 50mm f/1.4G. To me, the difference is not enough to keep both, and between those two I prefer the 35mm.

The 35mm works like a very compact lens that is still very versatile because of the focal length (50mm equivalent). The 50mm (75mm equivalent) often feels limiting. I originally bought it as a portrait lens, but what happens is that I rather use my 50-135 f/2.8 for portraits...
