[QUOTE="Dxer, post: 454484, member: 38328"] Absolutely nothing wrong buying second-hand gear. Just make sure you know what you are buying and the lens ( or anything else ) is in good condition. All my stuff is second-hand and works fine. As far as letters, I don't know them all. But something like my 55-200mm would be fine which is a SWM ED VR IF lens. ED = extra low dispersion. Used to correct chromatic aberration. VR= Vibration Reduction. IF = internal focusing. Meaning that the lens inside the barrel do the focusing, not the end glass. SWM = silent wave motor. Just means that the motor is suppose to be quiet when focusing. Now this is with Nikon lenses. Other manufacturers have their own abbreviations for stuff. Just remember that the D5200 doesn't have a focusing motor. So you need to buy a lens that has the motor built-in. AF-S or AF-I if you want to auto focus. [/QUOTE]
