How to BUY USED LENSES --- 13 tips!

Описание: In this video I'll tell you how to safely buy used lenses - how to avoid common pitfalls and problems, how to recognize problems. I bring out 13 tips a buyer of used lenses should pay attention to. I'll list some common sense recommendations but also talk about other less known issues. For example I don't recommend buying lenses from professional photographers. I also invite you to think about whether or not you really need that new lens. I've followed these camera lens buying guidelines myself and so far I've been happy with the lenses I've acquired.
