I'd go for the Ex+, if possible. KEH's bgn bodies are, well, a bargain.
The bargain lenses, though are a bit more risky unless you get a sales agent
to describe an item to you over the phone. They can have marks on the glass
which they claim won't affect picture quality. They're probably right, but
I like my lenses to have unmarred glass.
