Did anyone buy some lenses on KEH with BGN condition?

you could probably do a search here on photo net and get tons of hits talking about KEH.

But the answer to you exact inquirery is that every Bargain lens I bought from KEH did not affect the quality of the image. In other words, their statement is accurate.

KEH BGN is almost always much better condition than you'd expect.

2 rules to follow. Rule #1 Don't buy anything from KEH regardless of condition and rule #2 don't forget rule #1. If you break the rules don't tell me that I didn't warn you.
Your welcome

thx ~Thomas ,Douglas and BIll.That s very helpful

I wonder, how long does it normally take KEH to respond to emails enquiring about equipment condition?

I'm in the UK, and want to buy a lens from them, but I've been I'm waiting for replies to two emails for 10 days. I guess that the Memorial Day holiday has stretched staff resources to the limit.

I've bought three bargin lenses from them, and all were in fine shape. I'd say that they were very conservative in the rating of those lenses. On the other hand, I once bought an EX that I didn't feel quite warranted that designation - the glass was in good condition, but the focus was very rough. Fortunately they have a no-hassle return policy.

Bill, I wonder about your admonition as to not purchase anything from KEH? I have used them several times with no regrets.

I've bought several high end lenses from KEH in BGN condition and with only 1 exception, their ratings were very conservative and the lenses performed much better than expected. BGN isn't my first choice, but if I can't find a particular lens I want in better condition, I'll consider BGN from KEH.

I bought a bargain lens for a camera. The lens worked fine. My other purchases were excellent condition lenses and they were as stated. They mainly grade on the exterior of the lens. Some wipe marks or interior dust is to be expected. Damage to the rear element avoid.
