Why Stock Photos?
The short answer is that we use stock photos on some listings to save us time and to save you money. The longer answer is that we love to take photos of each and every lens, camera, and accessory, but doing so takes a lot of time and makes it difficult to get everything listed. So, we decided to compromise: take gorgeous photos of some things and charge a little more for them, and use stock photos for other items and charge a little less for those, all else equal.
The items listed here were tested thoroughly by our trained technicians. If they observed any significant flaws, you’ll see them detailed above. If the items listed here are exceptionally awesome, you’ll see that noted above too. Regardless, please remember this is a used item and it’s bound to have at least a microscopic imperfection.
If you're interested in purchasing an item with specific photos and ratings, we don’t blame you one bit. Please visit one of our Exposed! listings (if available), usually marked with a green badge. If none are currently available, by all means, contact us.

The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 ED
The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 ED is designed for exceptional edge-to-edge sharpness on the full frame D4 and D800 bodies but is also outstanding on DX format cameras. The 14-24 has a Silent Wave Motor for fast autofocusing, as well as two extra low dispersion elements and Nano Crystal coating for superb sharpness even wide open. An f/2.8 aperture in a zoom this wide with full frame coverage is unheard of -- Nikon has cemented their place as the leader in wide angle optics with this lens.
One note though, there is no way to use a filter (other than modifying a square filter holder) with this lens. Additionally, while this lens offers very high image quality, there is distortion at its widest setting, so wide group shots will give you very unhappy people on the edges (at least once they see the images).Roger's Take
This lens is certainly the best wide angle I’ve ever shot with, and only the legendary Zeiss 21mm Distagon is sharper corner-to-corner (and that’s a $5,000 prime lens). This paired with a D4 is mind blowing—that’s the equivalent of a 9mm rectilinear lens on a DX camera. A week with the “Wide Thing” will change the way you shoot.
This lens is so good that a third party is selling an adapter so it can be mounted to Canon cameras – Canon shooters are willing to focus and set aperture manually just to use this lens.
