Lots of cameras, lenses and other items to choose from...
It seems like folks have very good luck purchasing refurbed stuff from Nikon, so I bit the bullet and ordered an AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G. I have the f/1.8G version and I'm happy with it. The f/1.4G gets mixed reviews and though some of the negative ones are discouraging, some of the positive ones really got my attention.
I was thinking of a used one, but my recent experience with a used 24mm f/1.8G made me consider a refurb to save money. I'm guessing that these lenses are tested before sale and that I won't get a lens that has issues. And with refurbs on sale... well, I'll give it a shot so I can do some comparing.
