But I've found that lenses are really expensive and if you can get them used, you should.
Knowing where to look is a good thing. Most major camera dealers offer refurbuished or used lenses, of the lenses that I have half of them are used. There is even one major site dedicated to selling used camera equipment:

There is also a ton of good stuff on eBay, you just have to be careful who you buy from, and only buy from there if the prices are lower than other used sources, you can get some great deals.
