We receive a lot of questions regarding our Grading System. The KEH Grading System helps our team of experienced photo and video technicians to rate and grade used equipment in a reliable and transparent manner to help our customers choose the gear that best suits their requirements and budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below is a chart that explains our grades:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"All grades are based on cosmetic condition, except our \u201cAs is\u201d (AI) grade. All equipment is in working order order *unless otherwise specified*. For some equipment such as collectibles, we’ll specify other relevant operating condition information in the ‘Notes’ field (adjacent to the Grade field). So, you may see a note like “Inoperative” or “Aperture Oily” etc. We use the same grading system to sell and purchase equipment.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Our professional and accurate KEH grading system was created in-house and is unmatched in the market. Our system assures an accurate evaluation of gear traded in to KEH, as well as bought from KEH’s website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each grade has a tolerance range. Some gear may be on the high end of a particular grade, and some gear may be on the low end. There are, however, specific factors to determine the correct grade for every piece of equipment. We have a large team of experienced and seasoned photography and videography experts writing up equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glass Disclaimer<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Occasionally lenses, even when brand new, will have a slight amount of dust visible within the lens elements. This is a result of the manufacturing process and will not affect image quality or resolution. <\/span><\/p>\n

Repair<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We only offer fully functional gear, however, if the item needs parts that are no longer available or if the item is beyond economical repair, it is then categorizes As-Is and sold for parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many factors that are considered during the grading process. We want you to be confident in your purchase and offer a 180-day, non-transferable warranty and a 14-day hassle-free return period (on all items except Ugly and As-Is grades) in case your purchase isn\u2019t perfect. <\/span><\/p>\n
