theaman1515 asked:Best place to buy a used X-T2? Hello everyone - I have been getting into photography recently and am finally moving to potentially purchase my first camera. After reading a lot of recommendations for what Fuji to start on for a beginner I think I've settled on trying to hunt down a used X-T2, but as a beginner I unfortunately also have no idea what the best method is to look for and buy a used camera. Do any of you have any recommendation (I'm in the US if that helps). Additionally, given I'll just be getting a x-t2 body, if you guys have any recs on the best lense to pair with that for a beginner I would greatly appreciate that insight as well.
wanakoworks replied:[KEH.com](https://KEH.com) and [MPB.com](https://MPB.com) are my top two recommended places for used gear, if you want to buy from a store. If you're open to buying from private transactions, r/photomarket is a great place. I've bought the majority of my Fuji gear from there.

FeloMonk asked:Best place to buy a V-System camera? I need to replace my 500C/M kit after UPS lost mine in the mail. Last time I bought it off eBay, but I’m not a huge fan of the risk involved in buying from some random person who’s halfway across the world. I’ve bought an A12 back from KEH and that seemed like a safer bet, but they never seem to have bodied or full kits. I’ve also been looking at K&M who seems to have a lot of Hasselblads comparatively, but I don’t really know anything about them, how their condition ratings work, their return policy, etc. And pretty much every other used camera store online doesn’t seem to have any Hasselblads. So I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Is eBay the way to go (any tips?). Is there a go-to camera store for Hasselblads?
2RedEmus replied:Mpb.com Adorama, Samys, eBay Japanese sellers with high ratings

remarquable asked:I’d like to buy my first camera Hi! I’d like to buy my first professional camera. I’m looking for a camera that: 1. Has great focus 2. Great image quality 3. Films and takes photos (and does the above well) 4. Great sound 5. Isn’t over 700 pounds Any recommendations, guys? I don’t know much about cameras as I’ve never had one, but I’d love to learn more :)
Steev182 replied:My a7 iii with a rode videomicro doesn’t weigh anywhere near 700 pounds and fills all that criteria. But it does cost more than £700. If you can stretch to £750 or maybe even £800, the a6100 would be great. If you can stand to use a camera someone had their greasy mitts on, you’d probably get a better deal, and if you use mpb.com, you’d get something that is pretty trustworthy.

dylanmanshack asked:Help me save $$$ plz Anyone have recommendations for where to buy reliable used equipment for my first rig? Specifically looking for lenses rn and trying to save money where I can. Thanks in advance!
twoworms2 replied:I have had a lot of luck with [MPB.com](https://MPB.com). B&H used, KEH and Adorama used are also good but maybe not quite as inexpensive.

drphilwasright asked:Looking for a cheap, wide angle lens for my D7100 Hey guys, i'm going to Comic Con in a couple weeks and I've been searching for a budget wide angle for a little bit now, but i'm not sure whats good and whats not. Id like something wider than my 35 1.8 will allow on my crop body (equivalent to around 51mm). Id be primarily using it for street photography, and occasionally some skateboarding. Ideally, id like it to be equivalent to somewhere in the 20-30mm range on my D7100. Not interested in fisheye-wide. Ideally, id like to spend less than $200. I'm fine buying used, and id prefer a prime as it'll probably be cheaper. Also totally ok with manual lenses. Something a bit faster would be nice, but i'm also aware of what my budget can realistically afford. Cant seem to find any decent deals locally, unfortunately. Anybody know of any good, old manual focus wide lenses that can be found for a deal?
Snarfing replied:Why not the Nikon 18-55 G DX VR? Used, you can get it at mpb.com for $50-65 depending on quality. I have bought a lot from them and can attest to their professionalism and service. Works great in all auto and full manual modes. It’s excellent for street photography and you’ll have a zoom for framing versus a fixed prime.

legsxvi asked:Photography Gear I am an amateur photographer looking to expand my selection of gear. Does anyone know some good sites where I could buy refurbished glass and possibly sell some of my own equipment? Also I’d like to ask for recommendations on lenses. I have a Nikon D5100 and am looking for a nice prime lens that works well in low-light shoots. I am also looking for a good film lens. Thanks :)

paulvgmip asked:Need some help from you guys, looking for a place to possibly get cheap/free camera for young photographer. Hey Guys, long time lurker here. I need some help, as the title says I'm looking for a place to find a cheap/free camera for a young photographer. I have given him a film camera (AE-1) to use for the meantime but unfortunately, he and his family are very underprivileged and can't really find the means to develop rolls of film or buy him a digital camera. Age of the camera doesn't matter, as long as it is digital. He is a great kid starting high school and really has gotten super interested in the hobby in the past couple of months. I have been lending him my D7200 as much as possible and been teaching slowly but surely. If you guys have any leads where I can find something to put in his hands, that would be great. Thanks!
JitteryPenguin replied:Check MPB.com and KEH.com they sell used cameras and sometimes you can get beaters that still work for pretty cheap. There's a Rebel XTi on MPB for $104 and some of the old 18-55 kit lenses for ~$50. That's about as cheap as you're probably going to get and still have something reasonably modern.

Anne B. asked:Hi all my partner recently bought a 7d mkii and I would like some help, he would like to get some wide pictures landscapes and city shots, what lens would you recommend is best, but with a reasonable price tag, thanks?Fraser D. replied:The sigma is good if you get a good one. I had a good one that was replaced after the first one got damaged. The second one wasn't good at all. A used Canon 10-22 is the one to go for (from MPB.com or ffordes).
