I'm looking for reputable places to buy second-hand or aftermarket camera lenses other than eBay and Craigslist. Are there established camera dealers or communities that are good sources for used lenses?

Yes. In the US, well-known used-gear sources mentioned by the community are KEH, B&H Photo, and Adorama. These are established camera retailers that also sell used lenses, which can be a safer option than general classifieds because they typically inspect gear and may include return periods or warranties. One answer specifically notes that B&H offers a 90-day warranty on used gear, while KEH offers a 6-month warranty and a 14-day no-questions-asked return policy. Another community option mentioned is the buy/sell forum at Fred Miranda, which is popular for second-hand photography gear. If you're shopping used, prioritize seller reputation, condition grading, return policy, and warranty coverage.
