Have you ever been curious about our rarest cameras at KEH? We’re giving you an exclusive peek behind the vault door at our private collection of rare and unique cameras, starting with our Leica M6s. While you can’t get your hands on any of these bad boys, you can still get an up-close-and-personal look at these iconic cameras. You don’t want to miss this!

Just because a piece of gear is outdated, it doesn’t mean it’s worthless all of a sudden. Let’s look at a few examples.

Sure, M-mount gear is popular, but which items are so popular, we struggle to keep them on the shelf? Let's find out.

That’s right, it’s time for another video field test. This lens is a bit different, though. This lens holds a secret inside.

“I’ll bet you haven’t seen one of these before.” During my first week of work with KEH, the company held a buying event at the KEH headquarters in Atlanta. Buying events consist of one or two of our buyers greeting customers as they walk in with their used cameras and lenses, grading the equipment, and

There are two schools of thought on protecting the front lens surface on your camera: One is that you buy an optically clear UV or Skylight filter, which screws into the front of your lens. The theory is that this extra piece of glass will absorb any “direct hits” from a foreign object, and should
