I purchase the “very good conditions” option and I am happy with the conditions of the lens
I purchase the “very good conditions” option and I am happy with the conditions of the lens. Overall i just found a very small dent in the paint and dust on the outside of the lens. Internals seems clean and the lens do not have signs of scratches. The best part is that mine came up with lens caps and it even come with the lens hood. Lens hood came with some minor scratches but no impact in the functionality of the lens.I will be using it for my Canon R6 with the EF to RF mount. Haven’t went out for shooting pictures yet but I have try a couple of shoots and the AF is fast and sharp.It came well pack in bubble wrap and standard cardboard box.
