Buying a used camera and lens THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW!

[@dutchkickerzdk]

Especially check the golden contact points on lens and camera mount. If scratched/damaged, the previous owner might not have been that careful

[@francoismarc3]

Agreed! So many things to check for. I think checking the lens and camera mount should be first on the list. Agreed:)

[@matthewgotliffe960]

Also, check/ask for shutter count. This tells you how many times the mechanical shutter inside the camera has actuated (i.e. how many photos it has taken). Entry level cameras are good for 150,000 or so

[@francoismarc3]

I agree 100%!
