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 Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 Micro 4/3 Lens
Designed for Micro 4/3rds, the Olympus 12-50mm covers a broad range of 24-100mm (35mm-equivalent), giving users a high-quality, do-anything lens. This lens is very small and lightweight considering it’s range; however, build quality remains quite high. It’s the first dust and splashproof lens option for Micro 4/3rds users, making shooting in sub-par conditions feasible.
Using a near-silent Linear Motor Drive, the 12-50 EZ allows quick, accurate focus for both stills and video. The zoom ring is of clutch design, allowing users to quickly change from manual to power-zoom. If the Macro button is held, the clutch also switches to Macro mode, allowing focusing as close as 7.87". Thanks to the 2 aspherical elements and multi-coating on all lens sufaces, the Olympus 12-50 EZ boasts extremely high image quality. For a walk-around or travel use zoom lens, it definitely delivers.Tim's Take
A higher quality lens than your standard kit lens, the 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 offers a great zoom range with a high build quality. The weather-sealed design is great if you know you’re shooting in poor conditions. Throw in the macro mode, and it’s a great all-around lens if you know you won’t be shooting in low light.
