How we built this list

Camera Shelf tracks used prices across the major used-gear sites every night. This list filters the catalog to lenses that match the criteria above, then ranks by deal score, so the camera at the steepest discount from its launch MSRP comes first. Prices and rankings refresh whenever the crawler completes (typically once per day).

See the methodology page for how prices are collected, how seller conditions are normalized, and what the deal score does and doesn't measure.
