    $850 is a good deal depending on condition. For "like new" condition, for example, on Amazon, it's a great deal. KEH has one used for $909 that is rated EX+, which is "90-96% of original condition. Exceptionally nice. May have slight wear on finish but visible only under close inspection. Glass very clean."

    I missed that on KEH, I looked a little while ago but didn't see that listing. I was going to go for the Amazon 850 Like New but thats from a private seller, do you think KEH wold be a safer, tested bet?

    CORRECTION: Amazon's is Used Very Good.
    I have not had any issues with either but KEH has a great warranty.

    Thats a good point Mark. The 6 month warranty and even the 14 day return policy is a big consideration when purchasing a near $1K used lens. What to do...what to do...?
