And, Adorama, B&H, Hunts, Roberts, possibly a local B&M.
I usually just go to ebay, if you do your due diligence it is quite safe, though I do realize not all are comfortable going there.

Kinda like b&h photo, Adorama etc,, KEH has proven time and again they intend to stay in business. In order to come to your own conclusions I suggest you make a couple of small purchases, put them to the test and go from there.

Stay away from Abes in Maine and 47th St Photo in New york.

B&H and Adorama are my favorites.

MPB out of Brooklyn. Just completed a lens trade with them and was very pleased.

I also recommend KEH for used gear purchases. Or, for selling used gear.

Never a problem with KEH. Reliable honest outfit. Bought & sold to them several times.

I've purchased at least a dozen lenses from Fred Miranda's classified section. Never had a bad experience. Always happy if not thrilled with price paid.
