Buying Guide

Choosing a used camera or lens

Start with the individual item’s photographs and description. Cosmetic condition, optical condition and functionality are described separately; a cosmetic grade alone does not describe how an item performs.

Condition and included accessories

Check the notes for signs of use, scratches, dust, haze, fungus or other disclosed issues. Review the functional notes and the list of included accessories. Do not assume that batteries, film, adapters, cases or caps are included unless they are listed.

Compatibility

Before ordering, confirm the lens mount, camera model and any adapter requirements. Share the exact camera or lens model with us if you need help. Compatibility may vary between versions of the same system.

After delivery

Please check your item and contact us if it differs from its description or if you need help getting started. Keep the packaging while any delivery issue is being resolved.
