Used on here or FM if possible, and if not, either used or new on Adorama or B&H.

But the answer isn't. I voted "both". Lately though, mostly eBay. Have shopped B&H online too. :oops:

A lot from B&H, a fair amount from Adorama and KEH, and a good bit from my local B&M, which is Midwest Photo Exchange. I've bought from them a good bit, as it's generally worth the extra few bucks, except on really expensive lenses where the tax alone is a killer.

recently I bought from Adorama, only reason was cause the shipping was quicker and cheaper than BH, I trust both, also theres a Calumet here which if it was as easy for me to have gotten there I just would have bought it in person!

Nikon bodies/lenses from my local camera store, everything else, including all Canon gear, from B&H. While it's great that Nikon lenses all come with a 5 year warranty, I don't buy them from B&H since the US warranty isn't valid in Canada.

I voted Dell as that's where I've made most of my purchases through either coupons or Bing. But since that's get more scarce, I'll be moving over to B&H or Adorama, both of whom I've also purchased from.

i've bought lenses from BH, adorama and other online stores, as well as ebay, POTN and local brick and mortar.

ideally i would buy a mint lens from the POTN forum at a great price. such as my 100-400L which was like-new and cost me $1125 or my 24-105L which cost me $825 and was also like new.

i bought my 16-35L II new from ebay for $1275 and my 70-200L f4 IS from the local brick and mortar for $1300.
