Where to buy used lenses?

[saltwaternewb]

I am in search of a decent macro lens for my D70 but the prices of new lenses are WAY out of my price range at the moment. Other than fleabay, are there any or sites that tend to have a decent amount of used stuff for sale? Photography sites with active classifieds?

Seems like the handful of photography sites I have found has VERY incative classified sections. Maybe this is the norm? Anyways, thanks for the help.

Nice site but no classifieds.

You have to be a member there 30 days and have 30 posts. The classified is really active. New stuff goes up everyday.

be sure not to buy any used equipment from pro's. Their stuff generally is pretty beat up. Be sure to see pics of the glass before buying a used lens. A lot of peolpe get burned buying used lenses.

I've had great experiences from KEH.com They tell you the condition and give you a warranty.

I think it depends, i've bought used from pros and never had a problem. Some take care of their equipment and some don't. Just be sure you know exactly what your getting.

KEH.com as was stated is pretty good. I got my Sigma 105mm macro from there and am very happy.

Why is it that Canon users are always trying to get somebody to switch over?

Feeling lonely lately... ?

I never really noticed until you said something. That is so true, they are always trying to get people to sell their Nikon gear. Why is that?

Well the market is saturated with Nikon gear so were trying to help to clear the "junk" so to speak. That's why you see all the nikon gear for sale maybe?????
