Premium Used Nikon Gear

Nikon stands for solidity that lasts generations. Our range holds around 700 Nikon products: the mirrorless Z series, trusted DSLRs, and with over 360 pieces one of the largest Nikon lens collections in the Netherlands — from classic AF-D glass to the newest S-line.

Why a used Nikon?

Nikons are built to be written off and that rarely happens: a D850 that gave years of loyal service is usually just a D850 with years ahead of it. Because with Nikon the shutter count is reliably stored in every file, you also know exactly how intensively a body has been used. Add to that the fact that the F mount held out for over sixty years and you understand why there is so much usable Nikon gear in circulation. That way solid tools get a second life — better for your budget and the most sustainable way to get top gear.

Z or DSLR?

• Z series — Nikon's mirrorless line with modern autofocus and stabilisation. The Z5 II and the retro Zf stand out, alongside stayers like the Z6 series.
• DSLR — the D bodies remain robust workhorses, with the D850 as the eternal favourite and access to an ocean of affordable F glass.
• Quiet gems — a Z7 II offers nearly D850 resolution in mirrorless for a remarkably soft price, and analogue classics like the FM2 and F3 turn up regularly too.
• Lenses — the S-line glass dominates demand: the Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S, Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S, the Z 180-600mm for wildlife photographers and fast primes like the Z 85mm f/1.2 S. And through the FTZ adapter your F glass simply fits every Z body.

What we look for in used Nikon

With Nikon we can almost always read out the shutter count — we list it with the body. We also test the sensor, shutter, autofocus and the VR stabilisation in the lenses. On older AF-D and AF-S glass we look specifically at the known ageing points: smoothness of the aperture coupling, fungus and the focus motor. On the D bodies we also inspect the mirror mechanism and the phase-detect AF system through the viewfinder — points that do not exist on mirrorless, but make the difference on a workhorse like the D850. F glass we sell with an adapter has been checked on a Z body. The findings are stated plainly with the product, with a 12-month warranty.

F glass, Z glass or both
