Actually, the classified ads here are always worth perusing, I have bought a few lenses with absolutely no problems.
I looked at the classifieds here but thought they were no longer in use as no adverts actually come up.

Look on the forum not the website classifieds
I would use them again.

Anyone ever bought from CEX - if you don't know they basically buy used tech and resell on UK high streets their online prices are very good but they are not a camera specialist so I'm a bit concerned about the condition.
They are offering a 24 month warranty:

We had problems returning a phone to CEX, sorted in the end, but wary.
The Real Camera Co in Manchester seem thorough and happy to natter, though I haven't got anything from there... yet.

Collectable cameras are a good, reliable and friendly firm (http://www.collectablecameras.com/) and sometimes have some very rare and interesting items.
I have used Ffordes in the past but I don't any more. Beware or them. They have a returns policy that's good on the face of it but their delivery costs are extortionate and they won't refund them even if they have made wildly incorrect assessment of the condition of the goods they're selling (broken cameras sold as EX+, lenses full of fungus sold as EX++ etc etc).

All just spent up my camera fund on my new KS2 with the twin lens kit (18-50 & 50-200) for kit lenses they are really decent quality, but I shoot indoors a lot, candid family stuff and I don't like using flash so really think I need a faster lens for portraits.
So I'm looking for second hand options. Not having bought used before I was wondering if you guys can recommend reputable used lens sellers who will have checked their gear and offer some form of returns policy.
I'm in the UK, so would prefer vendors who will ship here obviously.
Thanks in advance.
