Used lenses...anyone order from mpb.com? - Lux Interior - 03-10-2025

Found a nice telephoto zoom for about half price from here:

https://www.mpb.com/en-us

Are they legit/trustworthy?

I haven't purchased from them before, but they've been around for at least a few years (not as long as KEH.com).

(Note they do sponsor other posts on PetaPixel, so you might take the recommendation with a grain of salt, but if I found something I wanted at a price I liked, I would buy from MBP without hesitation.)

they do well on trustpilot.

Thanks for the input.

I took a closer look at the listing, and it says, "The internal optics have a signs of fungus, but this doesn't affect functionality." Confusedmiley-laughing001:

But they had a bunch of others, so I paid a little more and got one without fungus (or moisture).

No personal experience, but I've heard a lot about them from other photographers and almost all has been positive.
