I don't want to raise your expectations excessively, but a KEH "bargain"
lens is what most eBay sellers would describe as "mint."

I am local to them and they are great!
I just ordered a 50 year old camera
from them in bargain condition and other
than the bellows being worn it looks like
new! The price was great too!
Go for it. KEH will take it back if you don't like it - all you lose is the
shipping. THey are a good honest shop and my experience has been that they
under-rate their used items.

Matt, I don't know anything about their Minolta gear, but I've bought
several Canon lenses and accessories from their used stock and haven't
been disappointed yet. I should warn you not to expect much out of
anybody's "bargain" grade. I bought a lens locally from another
vendor here in Atlanta (not KEH) that was "bargain" grade, and there
are droplets of oil on the aperture blades as well as the mulitcoating
coming off the rear element of that particular lens. I've heard that
KEH's "bargain" grade is better than some, but I haven't bought
anything less than "excellent" quality from KEH, so I can't comment
there.

Yes

No. It went bad about two months after I bought it. It's not terrible,
either, you just have to snap the film advance (snap as in wind it up and
let it snap back into position) after you finish a roll of film, otherwise
it doesn't reset the film counter. If the film counter doesn't reset, good
luck knowing where you are in the next roll you load! It most likely needs
a good clean lube adjust and new light seals. Of course, that'll probably
cost another $100!

About an $85.00 repair including foam. If this is a ProS magazine it would
be worthwhile.

Forgive me for butting in, but yes, he does. I sent him a Pro-S back
with bad foam seals & a loose film advance lever and a 90mm C lens
with fungus in it. Mike gave the lens a cla, cleaned out the fungus,
replaced the light seals in the back & fixed the advance lever, all
for a VERY reasonable price. Everything worked fine; I'm more than
happy with his work & prices.
I only know Mike as a satisfied customer.
