Anyone ever make a purchase from their auction site?
The camera I'm eyeballing is labeled "bargain" but looks nice in the 6 pictures supplied on the page.
I realize that KEH's rating system for 35mm gear is heavily weighted on cosmetics but at least the photos gave me a 360 degree look at the unit.
I have, but it was long ago. I'm not sure about now, but rule of thumb was that if it includes caps, the glass is fine and it's only the barrel of the lens that's less than desirable. Those lacking lens caps may or may not have scratched glass.
Get a lens with caps and remember that they do have a decent warranty, so you can get your money back. If you don't like what you get, you're only out a little bit of time, plus shipping.
Best of luck.
