Has anyone purchased a used lens from Adorama?

More specifically, how are they in their "ratings"? Accurate?

Any info, or experiences that you can share would be appreciated...

thanks!

From the prior responses on here I would say they are conservative in their ratings. Meaning it should look and perform at least as good or better than the rating they give.

You can request images of the product but be prepared to wait forever and a day for them. At least that's been my experience. If you don't like it once you receive it though you can always return it so there is no real risk involved.

My sister, the professional baker and cake decorator once told me that my camera takes great pics. My reply was that I thought her oven baked great cakes.:lol:
