I have bought my 85 last time deal. It’s really good condition. The box just dont have seal, and I dont think anyone has opened it before. BTW, 85 is an amazing lens!
Canon boxes never have seal to begin with (unless it’s a supertelephoto.)
Same here! I looks exactly as if it was new! I’m loving the 85L, although still getting used to the focus by wire mechanism.
eBay $1589.99 brand new
This is an authorized dealer, so this has a 1-year Canon USA warranty. And also, this one is brand new too, according to reader reports. “Open Box” is likely just to get around MAP.
They are new Carlos-Metal Fernando Ramirez Diaz. I bought one two weeks ago. Closed box never opened. For some reason I think they have to mention open box because of Canon’s policy on pricing.
My open box from Adorama was kinda beat up, the box that is. The lens was obviously repacked by an employee and was not very clean. The optics were clean and that I guess is what matters.
I got the 40mm pancake for 119, open box from Adorama last week
I just received my 85L. Looks completely brand new to me, with all items wrapped in plastic like other Canons that I’ve purchased brand new. Great deal.
Just ordered the 14mm f/2.8. Will post more when I get it.
Just received the 14mm f/2.8 open box. Except for a few dings on the box itself, the lens seems pristine. No decentering and no issue with AF or IS that I can see. All the packaging is there and it is, for all intents, brand new. Good deal!
