If you're looking for a sale on Nikon Lenses

[ohheckyeah]

I got an email today from B&H Photo with a link to a sale on Nikon lenses and thought I would share it:

1. It appears to be a manufacturer's sale, so other retailers have the same prices

Nothing wrong with B&H, but just sayin'

[ohheckyeah]

2. Oh, okay.

I deal with B&H most of the time. I have been for years and find their customer service to be outstanding.

I just missed the sale on the 50mm lens. I got mine in about 5 days ago, along with my new tripod.

3. Still out of my budget

Unless the tax return come in before then

[ohheckyeah]

4. Yeah, they aren't cheap, that's for sure. n/t

5. I generally get them on the used market

There's a few things to consider with used lenses like fungus, oil on the aperture blades, grinding or gritty focus or zoom, denting of the filter ring, etc. A few small scratches on the glass is OK as are superficial scratches. I'll buy them on ebay if they have good pictures and a good description of the condition and the seller has a good record. B&H and Adorama have a good used department and rate used equipment on a defined scale as does KEH.
