Welcome to the 21st century!

So KEH offered more than double MPB's offer?!


I was wondering that also. Seems like there needs a little more info to pull the post together.

They offered that, yes. Actually, it was $222.00 vs $100. It's missing the large lens cap. As long as I get something for my stull, I'll be satisfied.

Maybe I didn't give KEH the correct ID for that lens. There were a couple, but mine was the ED version. Time will tell.

I had a similar positive experience with MPB when I purchased a "used" 35mm f/2 ZF.2 Carl Zeiss Distagon T lens a few years ago. Looked brand new in box and even came with a Zeiss lens hood. Very pleasant experience!

You can keep asking here every time you are stumped. But, if you use Google you will get a lot more information.

MPB does seem to really do an amazing job.
Customer Service has been very responsive to my past purchases. Have fun with your new gear. I wonder if they r eat offer more than their quote?

My Nikon Z 24-200mm lens arrived yesterday. FedEx was a day late delivering, but it was still a fast delivery - five days. Although it's listed as "Used," it looks new. Everything in the Nikon box looks like it was never touched. The items are wrapped and taped just like they left the factory.

It works fine on the Z fc and the Z6 II. I saved about $150, and the lens has zero clicks on it, so it had never been used.

MPB received my three old cameras and lenses yesterday, and they'll get back to me when they evaluate them. Money in - money out.

EDIT: MPB offered me $100 for my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 ED lens. KEH offered $222.00. KEH has a better system for entering items. I could click on items in a long list - case, cap, two caps, etc. They also provide room for comments. For example, I can tell them that this was New Old Stock, and I was the first owner. The shipping is free via FedEx, and there is a FedEx drop-off store less than a mile from my house.

I didn't know you can tell "clicks" on a lens like you can on a camera.

Don't be so hard on yourself. KEH is a company in GA that buys and sells used camera gear - like MPB.

My 24-70 Z lens has click stop aperture control. Since its built into the dial on the body, obviously it must apply to every Z mount coupled lens including nonOEM. It even applies to the FTZ mount converter (per my experience with several Nikkors).
