This was about five years ago- I bought an "Ugly Condition" 90mm Zeiss Sonnar for Contax G film cameras, from KEH. When I unpacked it, it was in Mint Condition, in its original leatherette pouch. Absolutely flawless, looked never touched. Crazy stuff. I was thinking the same thing- "Are their camera techs blind there?" Cost me a whopping price of $150 US Dollars. Crazy azz stuff.

No it’s not lol. Most are filled with fungus. Their ugly rating is too wide/vague. It includes unusable to great optics with a beat up housing. These videos that KZfaqrs put out are a setup. I’ve ordered 4 ugly lenses and none of them have been useable. They were cloudy with a ton of fungus etching. Which is funny since the exterior has always been in decent to good condition. Their rating system is great for anything above ugly. I would recommend keh for anything above ugly. Bargain isn’t even worth looking at lol.

You are correct. Bought a "Ugly Zeiss lens" there and it arrived in Mint Condition. I think they just wanted to get rid of it, since it is Contax G mount, not a popular camera mount and not a common camera.

I haven't bought from them, but saw a 24-105 I wanted for a good price listed as excellent. I read their notes and it said it had front ring damage that affected filters being attached.. which usually means it was dropped on its front and may have some decentering issues or other problems that are less obvious. I don't see how that equated to "excellent" and got sketched out. Bought from mpb instead

Shot with that until I left Nikon. Image Stabilization is amazing and great glass. Focusing is actually fast (many would say it isn't) with the D850 or D500 handling BIFS in pans and coming at the camera. Excellent sharpness as well, but, focus does slow down and focus hit rate goes down and Z6 series and other cameras with lesser focus motors.

My one experience with KEH was bad. It was a Canon 70-300mm DO USM, and there must have been some internal damage as the USM focus ring had a weird variable stiffness and pictures were unusably soft. I sent it back at my expense and told KEH it was defective. By the look of their website it went straight back on. I think it was rated Excellent.

Hi Omar, Quazi again. Thank you for the video. I’m purely a hobbyist stills photographer and shoot wildlife a lot. Use Canon 1DIV, 5DIII and 7D for these purposes. However, I bought most of my lenses new. For static wildlife shots I use EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II + EF 2x III combo with FF and APS-H bodies installed on tripod or monopod. For BIF shots, it’s always 7D + EF 400mm f/5.6L handheld. However, recently bought a used EF 70-200mm f/4L IS for mammal shots as I visit such national parks in Nepal frequently. I live in Bangladesh. I’m a committed DSLR user and find no reason to switch to mirrorless systems. It doesn’t matter if Canon ceases production of DSLRs in future because my pro bodies will last at least ten years from today. Now, on adapting lenses. Two months ago I went bird watching cruising on a wide river in the northern part of the country with three birder friends. One of them was using Nikon Z9 with Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6. He expressed his frustration with the combo. There are some miniature grans in the images captured with this combo. Being a Canon user; I could only suggest him to sell it out and get the new 180-600mm for his great body. Like to know an interesting info? My 1dIV+300mm+2x combo produces a reach of 780mm which is long enough for birds. However, out of curiosity, I tried stacking converters 2x and 1.4x via an extension tube. This produces a reach of 1092mm but viewfinder AF is lost. But it does AF albeit slower, on live view. And shoots bursts silently at the same speed. I have to admit it’s not always feasible in the field because the LCD is never clear under daylight. I do cover my head and the camera with a black fabric and perform the task. Again I concede, it’s not always feasible or comfortable. Thanks again.

I almost want to send them my X-T2 just for the rating. They would have to add a new tier: Abonimable. The mechanical shutter died, it turns itself off constantly mid-use with full batteries, the paint has stripped off from hand holding it all day through the hand sanitizer years, and the back two bottom corners sheared flat because I had it in a bag while riding my bike around Mt. Fuji, the bag opened and it rattled around the basket - which is made of a denser metal, so it cut my Fuji as though it were cheese. LCD screen is perfect though, so buy a screen cover, guys. 👌

When using their tools, shining through the lens, they found fungus on the edges of the inner elements. It wasn’t visible just looking through it.

It would be interesting to try the same experiment with a lens which they turn over more stock of. Lenses which cost upwards of $600 and are more specialised won't sell in the same numbers, so if you were to try this again but with say, a 50mm f1.4, that might give different results. Leneses which cost a lot and don't sell quickly will be occupiying store room space, and occupying funds. A 50mm f1.4 is always going to be in demand, so there is less motivation to encourage people to buy them more readily.

After picking up the 100-400 my 200-500 has gathered dust. Until last week. So far, the only "bad" thing I can say about the 200-500, especially while on the Z9 - she a big heavy beast. The 100-400 is much more user friendly - and optically better (unless you're doing side by side comparisons, it's not so much better that you can tell straight away - the 200-500 shoots about its' weight class). But yah, that is a very good lens and you got a killer deal. I decided the Z8 was a cruel hoax and sold a motorcycle to afford the Z9 (bird in the hand worth more than two in the bush). So, since I pulled the trigger on the Z9 I bet that Z8 will come out shortly. :P Enjoy!

Don't underestimate your own clout Omar. I just had to send back a KEH 'Bargain' grade lens because it was hideous and they didn't even bother cleaning it before shipping it. I sent it back in better condition than I received it. Unfortunately my last transaction with MPB was even worse.

Humm, ugly is a bit harsh, I prefer profunctry. 🤪 I have one + TC1.7 on a Z7 ii and wouldn't be without it for wildlife. Gets up close and personal with the wee critters. The combined IBIS with lens VR is not to be dismissed.

How can you actually own that lens when he has it? Sounds like you are making stuff up to me.

Is this where I point out that MPB (in the UK at least) don’t use Any plastic in their packaging? I’m just sayin’ is all 🤷

Wow amazing to see a bamsketballus maximus in the wild, I thought those things had gone extinct! Great work Omar! In all seriousness though, what a steal on that lens!
