Let's face it, fellow shutterbugs; a photographer can never have enough good glass. For those of us on a budget, however, high-end lenses are often far out of reach. There are ways to get top-quality lenses in your bag without spending quite so much, though, and the keys are: 1) knowing what you want and 2) having the right source. You have to determine the answers to the first of those yourself. We're going to get you pointed in the right direction on the second in this article.

We're always on the lookout for great deals for our readers and we consistently find them at one source, where you can find quality tested and honestly rated used equipment at prices that you can actually afford.

Nikon Nikkor AF 80-400mm f4.5-5.6 D ED VR

UNA 07 9570 5 427607 624

Here's one for the Nikon shooters, with that same reach and the added bonus of an aperture control ring that's awesome for changing the depth of field while you're recording movies. That feature also means you can use it on your older Nikon SLR. The aperture is controllable via your DSLR, of course, by locking the ring at the minimum setting. Choose one of four currently available for around $500. Make your selection here.

Walk-Around Zooms

Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM

Other 24-70mm f/2.8 Zooms

Here's a mixed bag, just as an example of what a simple search can provide when you're dealing with a good source.

9 Crop-Sensor Second Camera Bodies that You can Actually Afford

d5300 2

Next to more and better lenses, the best investment for many photographers is a second camera body. Grabbing a second camera with a lens attached is much faster than swapping lenses and when that low battery indicator starts to flash, you can just grab the second one and keep shooting while your assistant makes the change or until you can stop and do it yourself. It also gives you a backup when things go wrong.

There are plenty of good reasons to have a second camera body. There's generally only one reason that many photographers don't have one, and that's cost. With a little bit of thought about what you really need in a second body, though, you may find that it's more affordable than you think. Here are a few examples, ready to help you expand your arsenal, listed by brand so you'll know they'll work with your current lenses.

Canon APS-C

rebelt3

EOS Rebel T3: This was a breakthrough model for Canon and at 12.2 megapixels, it's still a very capable crop sensor camera. It starts up incredibly fast, has a nice, big JPEG buffer and a battery life of about 700 shots, along with good low-light performance. There are 5 available here for less than $200 each.

60d

EOS 60D: Step up to 18 megapixel resolution and get a whole lot more, like a top-mounted display, higher-magnification, pentaprism viewfinder , 8 more cross-type AF points, a whopping 15-shot RAW buffer and shutter speeds up to 1/8000s. There's one available for less than $450, here.

Nikon Crop Sensor (DX)

d5300 red

D5300: This one features 24.2 megapixel resolution. That's higher than some of Nikon's full frame models. It has an awesome articulated LCD, built-in Wi-Fi and super-fast autofocus. It also boasts many of the same features as the “big guns”, but you have to access them through the menu. We know where you can get one in mint condition for $425. The one possible drawback? It's red. If you said, “So what?” check it out here.

d90

D90: If you don't need all that resolution from your second body and really want to save money, here's a model that will do the job nicely. It shoots at 12.3 megapixels, which is more than high enough for most photographic work. It gives you 11 AF points and 3D focus tracking. It can even track up to 5 faces simultaneously. With all the other standard features you'd expect from a modern crop-sensor DSLR, this is a highly capable second camera. Choose from 2 here ,both priced less than $225.

No doubt, you've noticed that these are all used bodies. Hopefully, you also noticed that each one is clearly marked with an honest rating and that all photos are of the actual items. What you may not have noticed is that each one is also covered by a 180-day guarantee. That's the kind of up-front, straightforward trading you can expect to do with the professionals at UsedPhotoPro.com. If you didn't find what you're looking for above, go search their website to see what kind of bargains you can find.

Great Ways to Round Out Your Photo Gear Without Spending a Fortune

iStock 16364497 MEDIUM

Let's face it, boys and girls; photography isn't a cheap hobby or an inexpensive career choice. Like most technology-driven pastimes, it can deplete your bank account in a hurry. That's why many of us make statements like, “I wish I had a second camera body,” or “Man, I'd really like to have a better lens.” Particularly for those talented amateurs trying to turn pro, equipment additions and upgrades can really impede progress. Because your friends at PhotographyTalk want to help you make that transition a reality, we're bringing you another list of gear that you can actually afford, from a source we trust.

Second Bodies

D3

A second camera body is a great investment, especially for anyone shooting events, weddings, sports and similar active genres. The kind of investment you're often looking at, however, can be something of a deterrent. For those with a need but not a lot of spare capital, a good used or refurbished camera body is a great choice.

Here are a few Nikon full-frame bodies for less than $1,000 you might want to consider:

Nikon D3 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera Body

Nikon D700 12.1MP Digital SLR Camera Body

Canon shooter? Step up to a full-frame, 50.6 megapixel body for about $1,000 less than retail:

Canon EOS 5DS DSLR Camera Body 50.6MP

Better Lenses

UCE 07 9790 4 635122 248

You already know that better glass is almost always the best choice when it comes to upgrading. The problem, again, is the tremendous price tag. Once again, a great solution is buying quality-tested, guaranteed used lenses for hundreds of dollars less:

Canon EF 300mm f4 L IS USM Lens(MINT CONDITION!)

Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM Lens

Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS USM Lens

Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L IS USM Lens

Nikon Nikkor AF 80-200mm f2.8 D ED Lens w/Tripod Mount

Tripods

We don't have to explain the value of a good tripod, either, so I won't bore you with that. This time, let's take a look how you can outfit yourself with some of the best, by purchasing like-new, refurbished equipment. Have a look at the selections of tripods available with these well-known brand names:

Manfrotto

National Geographic

Promaster

Supplemental Lighting

Whether you're in the studio or out in the woods, there's going to be a time when you're going to need to shed some extra light on your subject. Here's another area where refurbished gear can save you a bundle without sacrificing quality. Here are just a few examples:

Light Modifier Kits

Strobe Lighting

Flashes

 These are just a few examples of how buying used or refurbished photography gear can get you outfitted with what you need at far less cost than retail.

For those talented photographers with tighter budgets, top-shelf gear doesn't have to be completely out of reach. It just takes a little bit of smart shopping with a reputable dealer in used and refurbished gear.

It's compatible with both DX and FX format DSLRs, so you can still use it when you go full-frame. It's just like brand-new, but not nearly as pricey. See the details here.

Macro on a Budget: Reversing Rings and Manual Lenses

iStock 94787487 MEDIUM

Macro lenses for your DSLR or mirrorless camera can be very pricey, especially good ones. That's one of the main reasons that many talented photographers never really delve into looking at the world through the macro perspective and that's a shame. There's a way to nail incredible macro shots without making a huge investment in equipment and it's not only simple, it's fun.

I'm sure most readers have heard of a reversing ring, but for those that haven't, it's a simple device that lets you turn a lens around and mount the front of it to your camera, pointing the inner element at the objects you want to photograph. It's an inexpensive solution and in most cases, will give you much better results than a close-up “filter”. That's because the only thing that's altered in the optical path is the direction the light travels through the lens.

iStock 13734611 MEDIUM

Because the lens is reversed, instead of compressing a big scene into a small circle that fits the camera sensor, it now magnifies a very small area so that it covers the sensor, getting you “up close and personal” with the subject. You'll be amazed at the results, but there are a few things to know before you start:

  • Shorter focal lengths will yield higher magnification ratios.
  • You'll need to get very close to your subjects with the front of the lens.
  • Focusing is done by physically moving the camera back and forth in very small increments.
  • Aperture control will be disconnected, so you won't be able to adjust depth of field.*

iStock 88154457 MEDIUM

*There's a way around that last issue that highlights one of the cool things about shooting macro this way. Since you're connecting the lens to the reversing ring via the filter threads, you can use pretty much any lens, even if it's not made for your camera! In fact, one of the best ways is to fit a lens made for a film SLR that has an aperture control ring and “Voila!”, you have depth of field control again.

manual lens

You can find great quality, used lenses made for older SLRs and often at very low prices. Check out this short list of examples that will work nicely with a reversing ring:

Now, remember, these lenses will work reversed on your DSLR regardless of the manufacturer, because you're mounting it by the filter threads. I recommend choosing and buying the lens first, so you'll know what filter size to specify when buying the reversing ring. I also recommend shopping at Used Photo Pro to find the best deals on rated and warrantied lenses like those above. You'll need to match the ring to your camera mount, so be sure to specify the exact type when you shop. Here's a good place to start.

As you can see, great macro photography doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. Go get started!

Top 4 Things to Check on a Used DSLR Camera

nikond4

Here at PhotographyTalk, we've been telling you for a long time that a great way to make the transition to better gear is to buy good-quality used equipment. One of the most common questions I hear in response to that is, “How do I tell if the used equipment I'm purchasing is of good quality?” Well, that's a very fair question and in the interest of keeping our readers well-informed, I'm going to list some of the most important things to look for when you're inspecting a used DSLR. (I'll talk about used lenses in a separate article.) Ready? Here we go.

Dirt, Corrosion and Fungus

Nothing tells the tale of camera abuse like fouling. Check all the seams, the sensor area, contacts and mounting surfaces for dirt buildup, rust and corrosion. Open the battery compartment and make sure the contacts are bright and corrosion-free. Some dust is to be expected, but corrosion is a sure sign of impending problems.

d4 boxed

Finding a used DSLR with the original box, manual, etc. is rare. Take a look at the one above.

Fungus growth inside the camera is best spotted by taking a few shots and viewing them at high magnification to look for web-like patterns. This can be a catastrophic problem, expensive and difficult to fix. Dust spots may be easy enough to remove with a good cleaning, but don't assume anything.

Shutter Actuations

canon6D

DSLR shutters have a finite life. While many cameras will live beyond the expected number, a high shutter count means the risk of failure is higher. If the camera is likely to fail soon after you purchase it, it's not a great investment, since shutter repair is costly.

canon6d w charger

Older model cameras may have high shutter counts and should probably be purchased only from a reputable dealer. The one in the photo above is tested and guaranteed. Take a closer look.

What's high? Well, entry-level DSLRs have an expected lifetime of about 50,000 actuations, mid-level will last for about 100,000 shots and pro-grade DSLRs should handle about 200,000 actuations. Where do you find the count? Well, there's the rub; it isn't available on all cameras. If the camera does offer the information, however, it's usually available in the EXIF data for your images, capture an image, download it and use an EXIF viewer to find “Image Count”, “Shutter Count” or a similar parameter.

Age and Wear

rebel

This starts with knowing a little bit about the camera you're considering. If it's an older model or version, you can assume it's seen a lot of use. Wear patterns will give you some visual clues to that, too. Note the scratches and scuffs, labels worn off of buttons and the condition of the mounting surfaces.

5dmkii

The Canon 5D MkII has been replaced by the MkIII. The MkII version, however, is still usd by many pros. Here's a guaranteed one for less than $1,000!

If it's a new model and being sold at a very low price, it's worth considering whether it was stolen. Be cautious of anxious private sellers.

A Warranty

iStock 23904802 MEDIUM

“What?” Right. If you're buying a used camera from an individual and they're offering a warranty, be very skeptical. In virtually all cases, camera warranties are not transferable, so don't be fooled by a seller that says, “It's still under warranty!” For the original purchaser, that's true – but not for you if you buy it used.

There are two ways to get a valid warranty on used cameras. One is to purchase a refurbished unit from the manufacturer or a reputable rebuilder. The other is to deal with a trusted dealer that offers their own warranty. For instance, Used Photo Pro offers a 180-day warranty on their high-rated used gear. That means you can return it for up to almost 6 months if it fails. The bottom line is there's less worry involved in purchasing a used camera from the right source.

What to Check When Buying a Used Camera

What to Check When Buying a Used Camera

 photo bydusanpetkovic via iStock

Buying used camera equipment is one of the best tips I have for photographers, no matter where you’re at in your career. 

If at all possible, I buy used cameras online all the time. There’s just no better way to save money than with used gear!

But, I have also been ripped off a fair number of times because early on, I didn’t know what to check when buying a used camera.

Now that I have a few years of practice under my belt, I have some used camera tips to offer to the rest of you. Check out my video above on this topic, then give the article below a read!

Let’s get to it!

Ask for the Shutter Count on Used Cameras

used camera

 photo byArisSu via iStock

A shutter count tells you a lot more than how many times a used camera has taken a photo. It tells you whether the used camera was used personally or professionally.

Like miles on a car, there’s a good approximation of how many photos a used camera should 

take per year. You can also estimate how many shutter actuations a specific type of used camera can be expected to make it to.

A used camera can be expected to have about 10,000 shutter actuations per year for normal use. Again going back to the car analogy, if your used camera has a shutter count of more than 100,000, you should probably pass on that camera.

On a life-time scale, an entry-level camera should only be expected to reach a shutter count of around 50,000, while a mid-level camera can reach 150,000, and a professional camera should be able to reach 300,000 or more.

Of course, as with cars, there are no guarantees with these numbers, but they nonetheless provide a good general idea of what to expect.

Look for External Damage

A used camera can look to be in poor shape when it really isn’t because of the low quality of most rubber grips.

Rubber grips aren’t meant to last the lifetime of a camera, or if they are, nobody has told me. But, rubber grips are cheap and easy to replace.

What you’re really searching for when you’re examining your used camera for external damage are any signs that it has been dropped.

If a corner of the camera is dented, if there are deep scratches on the body, or a significant number of scuff marks, you may want to avoid that used camera.

Use These Used Camera Inspection Techniques 

what to check when buying a used camera 2

This is the easiest way to check a used camera, if you know what you’re looking for. 

First, you’ll want to remove the body cap to inspect the camera’s most important parts, the mirror, the focusing screen and the lens contacts.

If you see any oil or dirt, that’s a bad sign.

In fact, oil on any part of the used camera is a bad sign. It means the camera may have been dropped. 

If you don’t want the owner to get mad at you while you’re doing your inspection, make sure you keep the camera facing down to prevent any dust getting into it.

Finally, it’s important that you take a test shot. You’ll want to find a white wall, or a bright patch of blue sky, and take the shot. 

When you zoom back in on the image you’re looking for any scratches on the image. While dust spots are common and easy to clean, a long line probably means you have a sensor scratch and you can either avoid the camera or bring the price down.

Ask About Its History

Buying a used camera is an ordeal, just like buying a used car. You have to ask about its history. 

Now, people can lie, which is why I’m walking you through all of these inspection techniques. But, an honest photographer will let you know if they are a professional photographer selling equipment because their old used camera isn’t working like it once did, or if they are just buying a newer model they are excited to use.

You also need to know:

  • When the seller bought the camera and whether they have any paperwork to prove it (insurance or receipts)
  • The environments in which the camera was used
  • If the camera was rented out to other photographers
  • If the camera was damaged or serviced
  • If it was serviced, how much it cost 
  • If the specific camera model is known for having any particular issues 

You can watch the rest of Armando Ferreira’s video above for extra tips and tricks.

Buy Your Used Camera From a Trusted Seller

where to buy a used camera

If you don’t want to deal with all of this, though, you can always just turn to a trusted used camera seller. After all, there are many out there!

I use MPB because it takes all of the guesswork out of the equation, because their representatives do all of the leg work for you. 

Not only do they rate each used camera on a concrete scale, but most importantly they also offer a 6-month warranty on their cameras which is something you’re never going to receive when buying from an individual seller.

They have a tremendous selection of used cameras, too, from compacts to full frame DSLRs and everything in between. Any brand you might want as well!

Shipping is fast, the customer experience is great, and you can sell or trade in your current camera to help offset the cost of the new-to-you one. When it comes to where to buy a used camera, MPB is at the top of my list, and it should be at the top of your list too!
