I'm not a huge fan of buying lenses..especially zoom lenses online. I have a good relationship with my bricks and mortar store. For zooms I want to have the ability to evaluate IQ and exchange if not up to snuff. I find there's too much variability with consumer zooms.

I have bought several (mostly primes) used and have always brought a laptop and taken the time to analyze test images before committing.

I've had good luck buying used from a local store that will allow me to go home and analyze my test images while keeping the lens on hold for me. They also have a 30 day guarantee. This to me is worth the slight premium for piece of mind.
