Hi All -


I am looking at a used Canonlens at Adorama and I am not sure if it is the way to go. I would be saving $50 if I go that route. It's not a substantial savings but if it gets me pretty much a "like new" lens it's not bad. It is rated E+ (May have slight wear but only visible under close up inspection.)

What is the difference between buying "USED" from one store or "REFURBSIHED" from another? Is it the same? Does it go thru the same inspection & repair process?

Anyone ever have a problem returning something within the warranty period thatthey bought used if it didn't meet their standards.

Is it safer to deal with one store over another with regard to used items?

I never bought used from a store before and am just debating if the $50 savings is worth the risk or is the risk minimal.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
