Acquire a new camera, maybe as a holiday gift? Great! While you're exploring all the new features, the timing is just right to add a lens or two to enhance your system. If you're looking for value (and who isn't?) you can double down with a used lens from MPB, the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used photo/video gear. MPB has a gigantic inventory, and you can typically save about 33% vs the retail cost of new.

Why MPB?
MPB is the largest global platform to buy, sell and trade used equipment for photo and video storytellers. By the numbers, they've served 625,000 visual storytellers.

MPB is rated Five Stars on Trustpilot, based on nearly 33,000 reviews from photo and video storytellers like you. It's easy to understand why. All cameras and lenses sold by MPB undergo a thorough 8-to-10-point inspection by a trained photo specialist. And every camera and lens they sell is covered by a 6-month warranty.

You always know precisely what you're buying. MPB uses an easy-to-understand 5-point Condition Rating System. The condition ratings are: • Like New - unboxed, unused or lightly used • Excellent - minimal signs of wear, otherwise pristine • Good - fair amount of use, but well-kept • Well Used - significant use, signs of normal wear and tear • Heavily Used - clear signs of wear and tear, still works.
