What is your opinion of purchasing refurbished or used Nikon lenses from KEH? Would you opt for a refurbished LN- or a used EX+ if they are the same price? Thanks for the input!

I have even bought bgn and ug rated bodies and lenses that worked perfectly but had minor and i mean minor cosmetic damage. Excellant company to buy from, recomend them highly.

Hi, I don't know about Nikon lenses but I bought a used Canon lens from them and I was very pleased. In my experience a very good place to buy. If I had the choice between a refurb and used I go refurb every time as they are redone back to factory specs,so if it was the same lens and same,or almost the same model no question. Have fun and keep shootin'. Mike

I just bought a Nikon 18-105 from them in EX+ condition. I could not find a flaw. They were also fast--delivered to my door before promised. And it was a good price. I could not be happier.

I have used KEH a number of times. All the equipment I bought was in the "E" range. I bought several Hasselblad lenses and adapters and they were like new. If you have something to sell, they give you a very good price. I found KEH to be honest and reliable.

About half of my lenses were bought used, and you'd never know it to look at them. I have five Nikon cameras, and only one was bought new. No problems or regrets. Refurbished are good deals.

I buy nearly all my lenses from KEH and I have been very pleased so far, especially the new-old-stock Mamiya 180mm lens that I got for $109 but retails for $1600 !!!!
