KEH Camera, Ebay and the local thrift shops. Lenses seldom wear out if they aren't abused a lot.
KEH has a 6 month warranty now, almost as good as new.
Check out KEH at reseller ratings, there aren't many companies with so many happy customers.
I've bought a couple of point and shoots new, for the major stuff I look for good used or refurbed items.

This was taken a couple of months ago with an inexpensive Tokina 75-300 on a Sony Alpha 200. I heard the helicopter coming and thought it was low because of the noise. I grabbed my camera and walked out on the porch just in time to snap a quick shot of it. Even cropped a whole lot, it still holds up pretty well for sharpness.

More like beacon and big beacon!
I have a lovely old Nikon - I think it is an e 200mm - a huge lens which captures almost as much light as a 50mm. Wish I could remember exactly the type, but it has an integral ‘pod mount and it’s in a big leather Nikon case...
Love your posts, Sniper!

Better check it, that leather case is a good place for fungus to flourish and contaminate the lens coatings.

Thank you for the info. I just bought a new camera, so no new toys for me for awhile.
