USED CONDITION: ExcellentCanon lenses are known for their high-quality optics, impressive image stabilization, ultra-quiet autofocus, and innovative technology. If you want to add to your collection of Canon lenses, but a new model isn’t in your budget, you should consider looking into used camera lenses.
When you buy used from resale shops or online marketplaces, you don’t get as much security or protection as when you buy a used lens from a reputable dealer like Adorama.
What Is the Condition Grading for Used Camera Lenses?
Adorama’s camera lens grading system evaluates each lens’ functionality, signs of use and wear, and potential damage. We apply our ten-category rating system uniformly across all items, so you can feel informed about the lens you’re purchasing and understand its capabilities and limitations.
You can shop for lenses based on your budget and quality needs while feeling confident about your purchase. Each unit’s product description clearly lists potential electronic or mechanical malfunctions, so you can always make an informed purchase.
What Should I Look for in Used Canon Camera Lenses?
Canon used lenses maintain their excellent quality as long as the lens hasn’t been damaged by drops, impacts, deep scratches, or excessive exposure to the elements. When looking for a used Canon lens, make sure the exterior and glass elements are free from dents, dings, scratches, and gouges.
It's always a good idea to test a second-hand lens to make sure it works perfectly and that the autofocus and image stabilization systems are fully functional.
How Do You Test a Second-Hand Camera Lens?
While you can expect a brand-new, factory-sealed lens to work perfectly, you should always fully test any used lens you purchase. When you buy used from Adorama, you can take your time and evaluate your lens within the 90-day return window. Put it through its paces and test every function before you make a commitment.
Try shooting in burst mode and at every aperture to look for light leaks. Always review your test images to make sure you don’t have unexpected problems like missed focus, chromatic aberration, ghosting, or visible scratches in the frame.
Are Used Canon Camera Lenses Worth Buying?
A high-quality used Canon lens is definitely worth the investment. In good working condition, most Canon lenses last for years of shooting, so even a used Canon lens is a safe bet. If you’ve dreamed of a new L series lens, but it’s not in the budget, a used model is the perfect alternative.
