I buy almost all my used gear from them. They may have a used lens (or lenses) that fit your needs.

They currently have a 40mm (which would make it 60mm on your body) micro lens between $215 & $225 (EX+ or LN- that's their rating system, I'd say you could go down to BGN--which is bargain--on any of their gear and be happy).

Depending on what length you want for your tele, you may be able to get both at KEH for your $500 budget (maybe a bit over with shipping).
