"I was interested in a Nikon 24-70 f2.8. Lens authority had one listed on their site but I wasn't thrilled with the rating/grades. I asked to be emailed when they received others in. I received an email a few days later and went onto the site to look at the lens. I ordered the lens and it was quickly sent out. The rep called to confirm my shipping address because it was different than billing. I can appreciate that. I got the tracking number and it was delivered when promised. The grades on this lens were definitely underrating the lens. It shows and works much better than the LA grades it received.
I would certainly order from them again"

"a lens well traveled
i placed my order for a schneider 90 mm pc 4.5 lens i am kinda old school wish i could of talked to someone and ordere it over the phone. anyway the process was flawless. i paid 25.00 for 2 day
delivery to ca from tenesee. This is where it gets interesting. fed x picked up the package and then lost it. it was found in florida then shipped back to tenesee then within 2 hours hit ca then to me in grass valley. so you have to understand 2 days turned into 5 days so when i noticed it had not left tenesee after the first day i called lens authority they had gone home for the day. Next i called lens rentals their parent co,in a panic. A wonderful lady named connie
took the rains and followed through found the package assure me it was going to be ok constantly talking to me via phone and e mail. she was personal and proffesional at all time
any way i got the lens in perfect shape . their rating system thou is crazy. this lens was rated 9.25 condition. there was not a blemish ,scratch or anything on this lens it was perfrct in all areas. cant say much about fed x but i would not hesitate buying from lens authority and again thank you Connie"
"Their website was very easy to navigate, informative and the ordering process was quite intuitive. Customer service was terrific, very quick to respond to any and all of my questions. Finally I received my order very quickly and the quality of the products was outstanding. I highly recommend them and will continue to be a patron. "
"I didn't order without checking them out first to see what others had to say. The biggest thing that caught my attention was that other photographers were saying that their descriptions concerning the condition of the products they sell are accurate. This has been validated with my order. The system they use the rate the condition of the products is also outstanding. The optional extended warranty on some products is also a big plus for anyone in the market to buy used gear. Bottom line - Product as described, packed well, shipping time is reasonable and customer service seems to be on top of things and they even call to confirm the order. "
"Excellent and efficient customer service. I recommend them without reservation."
"From start to finish an amazing experience! Not only was I impressed that I get to see the exact camera I'm purchasing in each thumbnail but on top of that the specific details about each in regard to wear and tear hide no dirty secrets. After ordering my question via email was responded to kindly in a few minutes and I got exactly what I needed. I will definitely use them again! "
"This is the 2nd time I have ordered through LensAuthority. The first time I ordered a Canon "L" series lens, and I love it and it has worked beautifully. This time, I am ordering a Canon 7D so I could get better pics with the sports I shoot, as I have heard that the 7D is great for action photography. I am looking forward to using this camera this weekend when I get it, and I am confident that this camera will work just as beautifully as the lens I bought.
I think that LensAuthority is a great place to get quality camera merchandise, and I will keep coming back to LensAuthority for any camera equipment I may need in the future....and I can get it at a better price than I can at the main retail outlets. Thank you, LensAuthority! :-)"
"I hadn't heard of LensAuthority.com before placing my first order, but reading reviews here gave me some confidence to give them a try. I've now successfully placed an order, having received quickly the items I ordered, and in the proper condition. From this experience, I plan to use their services in the future. It's hard to find reputable sources of used photo/video gear, and I'm happy to have found these folks..."
"I'm always a little nervous buying used camera gear, but there's no one I trust more than Lens Authority. Anyone who has frequented LensRentals.com knows the attention and precise detail they give on every product. Being able to know that a used product has been thoroughly tested by these guys is all I need. Second purchase from them and definitely not my last."
"BOTTOM LINE (TLDR): USE THESE GUYS FIRST FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT!!! BEST IN THE BUSINESS!!!
These dudes are pro. I recently attempted to purchase an item from one of their competitors based in Hong Kong, who tried to scam me out of my personal information in exchange for a completed transaction. I was initially afraid this would be the case with these guys, but the confirmation email I received only required a 2 min phone conversation with a very helpful rep on the other end.
This is the sister site to Lensrentals.com. I have used their rental service for a while now and everything is always spot on. Prices are badass and everything is as described."
"My rating for shipping has to do specifically with FedEx being the only option offered. FedEx is a totally unsatisfactory entity so far as I am concerned, and it further represents a huge inconvenience as you never know when, or if, they will come.Requiring a signature requires huge expanses of wasted time with FedEx for these reasons. UPS has a convenient, consistent delivery window. FedEx, not so much."
"I ordered the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L II USM lens from Lens Authority which specified the glass as perfect and the lens excellent. But they gave it an 8,.5 rating. To me this lens is absolutely perfect. I can't tell this, a used lens, from a brand new one. Packaging was just like new. The pics I took from it are incredible. Coupled with my brand new Canon 5d MKIII camera, these are the best pics I've ever taken, and I'm just learning with this system. Thank you so much Lens Authority. Plus I have the extended warranty for only $25 bucks. Love this setup."
"Absolutely great. The product was exactly as listed. The shipping was fast and the packaging was perfect. I really look forward to doing business again in the future. "
