UPG24 on e.bay

[the black fox]

Has anyone bought anything from this firm , they seem to have some desirable lenses ,but most if not all seem to come with defects I.e marks on glass or fungus . Is it a case of them being over honest or selling rejects ?

I've seen them, but not dealt with them, looking at there contact details, the actual business is a print shop in Halesowen, although the one running UPG24 is not named on companies house as having anything to do with Photo Decor,

Has used multiple different trading names, various old threads on here and quite a lot of references online.
'the photographers bag' and other names from the past will ring a bell for some.

I bought a lens from them. Cheapish Fuji.

Had a loose focus ring after the warranty ran out and they still gave me a full refund

I bought this from them a few years ago, description was spot on, lens worked fine, bit battered, problem with tripod foot, but all was described.

Got the MK2 version now , took side by side pics of things, very very hard to spot any difference.

Got some amazing shots with it, sold it a few months ago, only lost about £250, better than renting one though.

Try to buy from some local brand, it costs less and provides A+ quality.

Just wait for a good and clean private listing.

I have used them numerous times over the past couple of years. They are very honest with their descriptions and i have only had to return one item out of about twenty that I have purchased. Returns if necessary are easy and simple no questions asked. They do sell mostly items that have a flaw or two but it is normally as described.

Yeah bought a few things from them over the years, cameras and lenses and have no issues with them.
