Find the right used gear for your next shoot
Buying used is a practical way to upgrade your camera, explore a different focal length or add specialist equipment to your kit. Start with what you want to shoot, then compare the available options against your budget and existing equipment.
Every used item has its own history. When comparing listings, check the condition rating, individual notes and included accessories. Two examples of the same model may differ in wear, shutter count where available, supplied accessories and price.
Before ordering, confirm compatibility with your camera system and check which branch holds the item. If you need help choosing between listings, contact our team with the product codes so we can assist with the specific items you’re considering.
Buying used gear: your questions answered
What do the used-gear condition ratings mean?
What do the used-gear condition ratings mean?
We use a 1–10 scale to describe used equipment. For example, 8/10 means Excellent, 9/10 means Excellent+ and 10/10 means Like New.
Read the rating together with the individual product’s condition notes. Lower grades can include optical or functional limitations, so the rating is more than a measure of cosmetic wear.
Why are there separate listings for the same model?
Why are there separate listings for the same model?
Separate listings can represent different used units of the same model, each with its own product code. Condition, included accessories, price and store availability may differ.
Compare the details of each listing before choosing. If you need help comparing two items, send our team their product codes so we can identify the specific units.

Check the lens mount and compatibility details against your exact camera model. Matching brand names alone do not confirm compatibility.

Are the photographs of the actual used item?
Some used-product listings use stock photographs to illustrate the model. Where an image is labelled “Stock photo”, it does not show the individual unit you will receive.
Refer to the item’s condition rating, notes and included accessories for its specific details. Contact our team with the product code if you need more information about its appearance before ordering.
