I'm looking for a 24-70mm 2.8 af s Nikon lens. Any ideas where I can get a good used lens?
KEH, ...... or - ebay - IF - you are careful ......
My vote would be to go to KEH.com, I've had great luck with them in the past. Or, why not buy new? You can get a great deal on one of the best 24-70mm range lenses with Tamron. Don't forget Tamron has a 6 year warranty on their lenses. I use my Tamron for about everything, street photography, portraits, wide angle scenery, it has never let me down. The Tamron is also a "SP" lens, which means it is of higher quality glass and construction. I found mine to be very close to "L" quality. I know you shoot Nikon, but give the Tamron a try. Good Luck

Check Amazon used. Around $1300 and up.
You may want to look out of the box on eBay. I got a Tammaron 35 - 105 mm constant f/2.8 that I love. I like the little longer lens. $160. For my style of Wedding work it is great. I also have a Nikon (old but auto) 70 -210 mm constant f/4 for $140 and it was in mint condition in case. - Dave

It seems to be the running cost it's still a little rich for me right now.
Thanks
