KEH's BGN can be another dealers VG. Just means that something on it might not be pretty. But the optics are always pristine in the ones I've gotten from them. I bought a BGN K 200/2.5 from them several years ago. The retractable hood had some obvious dings in it but the glass was flawless. I just considered myself lucky to get one for $335 and used it for several years for concert shooting with the LX I had at the time. Also had them drop ship a BGN Sigma 21-35/3.5-4 to my hotel room in FLA once when I realized I needed a wide angle lens. Even though I was shooting with a ZX-5n at the time I figured that AF in the short focal lengths was something I could do without. all because I was getting their catalogs and I found these were on special because they had several. Never could figure out why they considered it BGN. Still have this one. Kent Gittings
