Used cameras and lenses

Second-hand cameras and lenses from Foto Monza

In our range, you’ll find second-hand system cameras, compact cameras, film cameras and video cameras as well as a wide range of second-hand lenses for all the most common mounts. We also sell second-hand camera equipment, drones, monitors and memory cards. Most of our equipment comes to us directly from photographers via trade-ins, so our range often includes models that are no longer available new.

Why buy a second-hand camera?

• More camera for the same price. When buying second-hand, you can often get a slightly better camera body or a faster lens than you would new for the same budget.
• The cameras are durable. Cameras, and lenses in particular, are built to last for years, and a well-maintained piece of equipment hardly shows any signs of wear and tear.
• A safe purchase. Inspection, condition rating, a guarantee of at least 90 days and a 30-day right of return.
• A sustainable choice. Buying second-hand equipment extends its lifespan and reduces electronic waste.

Inspected and classified as K1–K5

Every second-hand product is inspected and tested before sale. For cameras, we check, amongst other things, the sensor, shutter count, buttons and display; for lenses, we check the condition of the lens elements, the focus and the aperture function. The product is then given a condition rating:

• K5 – excellent, as good as new
• K4 – good condition, with minor signs of wear
• K3 – satisfactory, clear signs of use, works perfectly
• K2 – fair condition, shows significant signs of wear
• K1 – in poor condition, e.g. for spare parts or for repair
