How to verify condition of used lens - DenisLV - 09-27-2011
Dear PZ readers,
I'm about to buy a used lens. Could you please advise any tips how can I verify whether it has any hidden defects?
I know that you can try to shake it?<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> But how do I go about checking everything else? Do I need to print out some tests and try to take photos of them? Time is not an issue, but I can't bring it out any where from the shop.Any help is appreciated
Denis
