Actuation versus wear - Lens question

[bmikiten]

I'm looking at used 90mm f3.2 lenses and have seen anything from 800 to 55,000 (!!) actuations. Prices varies accordingly from $2800 ($500 below a new lens) to $2000 or less. What is reasonable for a used but in excellent shape lenses as it relates to actuations? I couldn't imagine shooting 55k images with one lens even when doing commercial work. Of course, much of that was with film!

I know this may not be of much help to you, but I just picked one up in the UK for £1900 with only 306 actuations, absolutely mint.  There are several on UK used sites (respected places offering warranty)  for around GBP 2000 with under 3000 shots on, so what you are seeing looks expensive by comparison.

Do any ship to the US? I'm not familiar with those sites but have purchased from Japan with good luck on other lenses for view cameras.

55,000 actuations is almost nothing for XCD shutters.

I had no idea the 90mm f3.2 used was available affordably. I was looking at the 65mm (for concert photography).
Not sure which to go for now.
