Great lens at a great price and shipped fast!

"This was my first purchase from LensAuthority. I have always used LensRentals for my rental needs but heard through a friend how good their used stock can be. With a new shoot that required a wider angle lens, I was able to find a good Nikon 10-20mm lens at a great price. It just arrived today in a well-packaged box along with the original lens box and accessories. Looking forward to using it this week. Thanks LensAuthority! Paul."

Excellent all round

"They called to confirm who I was and the person who called was extremely nice and helpful. The lens -- a Zeiss Milvus 25mm -- shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. To be honest it looked brand new and it arrived in the original box. I tested it and it's flawless. I was a bit worried because it was the lowest-priced used copy I could find but I would rate it as almost mint. The return policy is 3 days which is a bit tight but it was ample time to test it and, since the 3 days expired during a weekend, Len Authority said I could have until the following Monday. I bought a Zeiss 50mm classic from Lens Rental some time back (I believe they are connected) and had the same experience. Thanks!"

Unbelievable

"I was skeptical at first, how could camera equipment sell at such a low price, I thought must be in questionable shape. Super fast delivery and in immaculate shape and above well packaged. Will shop here first before anywhere else. Thanks Lens authority "

First choice for used equipment

"Nice to have the assurance that you're buying a lens that has been tested by the pros, it takes a lot of the guesswork out of ebay, will i get a good copy or not? They are fast, pack it well, and last purchase even threw in a free bag!
Nothing but good to says about these guys.

Best regards, Bob Robertson

Best service ever!

"It was Friday afternoon and I needed 2 big heavy rare cinema lenses with MFT mounts by Saturday (the next day). They had PL mount versions of the lenses, not MFT. The girl I spoke to was not only knowledgable but very calm. She cheerfully said without an ounce of stress in her voice that they can easily switch out the mounts on the lenses and have it shipped overnight before they closed in 45 minutes. It was the best camera equipment purchasing experience ever! "

Camera for Christmas

"Purchased an 80D Camera for a Photography Student of mine for Christmas. She is from a broken home and does not have much. She does have a very good Photographer eye and I wanted to get her a good quality camera for Christmas at a reasonable price. LensAuthority was the answer. It came in yesterday. Perfectly packed and looking brand new. I am so pleased with Lensauthority. This is my second purchase from them and I also rented Lenses over the years. I have had no bad experiences. Very professional company to deal with. Buy or rent from this company. You will be pleased."

Misrepresented items : beware of ratings

"Purchased a used X100F Fuji Camera from LensAuthority in November 2019 that had the following rating: "The Fuji X100F is a large-sensor fixed-lens compact camera that boasts an array of advanced... (Overall: Very Good, Cosmetics: Passed, Performance: Passed, and Glass: Exceptional)"

I took it for granted that everything was in good working order however when I went to use the camera and later reviewed the images I began to notice dust spots on my photos. Under inspection of the lens element, there were some visible dust. Clearly "Glass: Exceptional" means not exceptional.

Moral of the story is to closely inspect item upon arrival within the 3 day window they allow returns. I partially blame myself in this regard but I do feel mislead which is why I'm posting.

Camera is sent in for repair at Fuji Film which will cost $663.50 where I paid $750 for the camera at LensAuthority.

Nice camera, condition better than description

"I bought a used Sigma Quattro DP2 from Lensauthority. It was shipped within one day of my purchase and was superbly well protected and packed. The camera looks like new. Lensauthority's rating told me the camera was "flawless" and they were right."
