Do not (repeat: do
not) be leery of B&H Photo. This company is, arguably, the best-run photo/audio/etc. shop in the country. I'm not saying they have the best prices, though they are always competitive to one degree or another, but their service is second to none and they afford 100% support for everything they sell.
They're an especially good source for old film gear. The way they rate this stuff is incredible. A few years ago I bought a Zuiko tele from them that they'd rated very low, yet it arrived without a flaw in the glass, though it did have some scratches on the exterior of the lens. But operationally it was in perfect condition. Just for example, if they'd rate a used lens in B condition, that would usually conform to a AA rating over at, say, Adorama. Just for instance.
The point is within my experience B&H is a completely secure place to shop, and goes a step further than that even.
But that should be easy to ascertain independently. Do a Google on the company and look for customer reviews of the company. Without a doubt you should have thousands of glowing testimonials to peruse.
