    Question Where to buy used lenses, etc?

    Howdy,

    Are there reliable on-line sources selling LF lenses, Film Holders, Dark cloths, and the like beyond Ebay, CatLabs, B+H, Adorama, and Badger? I need some stuff.

    Thanks!

    Brian

    I buy most of my stuff either here or on ebay. You have to really look at the photos and know what you are doing, or ask good questions of the seller if they don't know. Sellers here have always known what they have and any problems. Ebay is more the wild west, but I've not had any problem myself.

    Thanks, Kent. That's been my experience with Ebay as well, but there are some genuine bargains to be had.
    Not that I've ever scored any of those....

    I have had good luck on ebay with samy's and nationalcameraexch. You pay a little more but they have a generous return policy and their descriptions are trustworthy. USED at Adorama and B&H sometimes. KEH but not their bargain bin on ebay. And watch the for sale boards here, B.S.Kumar also seems to have a knack for finding good gear at decent prices, PM him if looking for something in particular.
    The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

    Facebook/eBay

    Most online dealers these days seem to price LF stuff too high.
