Hi Taka, I've bought several items in "bargain" condition from KEw and to tell the truth, they have looked absolutely perfect in almost all respects. My AF280T showed only signs of paint wear on the Pentax logo, probably more from being slid in and out of a camera bag than from any misuse. I also purchased a bargain F70-210 and a Tokina 100/3.5 macro. if I were grading them, I'd have called them mint-....neither lens had *any* visible problems with the glass and just the slightest flaws on the finish of the barrels.
KEH seems to be quite conservative in their grading and I'd not hesitate to buy bargain grade form them. I've had terrific luck. A Bragin item from KEH is truly a real bargain! plus, if you are not satisfied, they've got a very good return policy as well, so buy with confidence from them.
