Where can you get more lenses? Also, how is it packed? Plain brown box or need I worry about theft?

Definitely go with the bulk! Here's what I understand bulk packaging to be:Certain Canon EOS M's come wither either the standard 22mm lens whereas other come with both the 22mm and this 55mm lens. Certain sellers want to cater to buyers interested in just the standard 22mm, leaving them with an extra lens. And that's what you're buying - the extra lens. It's the exact same lens with different packaging. The seller might ship it in whatever box they have. Mine arrived in a thin white box with some bubble wrap. Definitely go bulk! Hope this helps. Happy New Year!

I have no idea. I will double check on the lens cover itself. I no longer have the box.

The box comes inside an Amazon box, very well packed with everything it says in the box: 1 Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS, 1 hard case (luggage style), 1 CD with all the instructions you need for operating the lens and warranty papers. You'll also receive your invoice from Amazon. Be also assured that if you have any problem with the lens, Canon will give you full support as if you bought it directly from them!

1. The lens with end cap, hood, and soft lens cap that fits over the hood.2. The luggage type case.3. A CD with instructions for EF lenses.4. Warranty papers.My lens arrived inside plastic bags inside the case which was inside a padded Canon box which was in turn inside a shipping box. It had clearly not been handled since leaving the factory.

I just bought this lens through Amazon. In the box was the lens, lens caps for both ends and a lens hood. Love it so far.

Since this was a used item, it came with whatever the seller offered: two lenses. This particular model, the Pentax K-1000, was one of the best and most flexible, as well as the most reasonable in price at the time. In other words, any used item will be a "one of a kind" in terms of what's in the box. The addition of an almost new leather case was a perk. Did not have a strap, however.

I ordered that package but with an additional lens from the same company and everything was brand new in the original packaging. Very happy with everything. Also, they shipped immediately. I paid for regular ground delivery and was told to expect to receive it in 5-7 business days. It shipped within an hour of ordering and was on my doorstep 2 days later .

I bought an used white body in like new condition. I already had a dozen or so Pentax lenses to use on it.

I did not have any problem with shipping ... now about the dimensions you are talking about the dimension lens or box size ?

Don't buy from "Bait & Switch" places such as A&R; - plus they sell "grey market" - do your research on line. If places like Adorama or B&H; have it used than use them. (Murphy's camera is another reputable merchant), but stay away from scum operated "bait & switch" merchants who always want to you "call to verify your purchase" (meaning we need to sell you a $50 lens cap because it does not come with it and if you want $100 warranty - lol) and if you decline the upsell offers the item becomes "backordered" :)

Anywhere that accepts returns would be safe in my book. Amazon sells used lenses, typically hundreds of dollars cheaper than if you were to buy new. I have purchased three lenses used from Amazon and never had an issue. With Prime, I have the peace of mind that I can return it within 30 days with no hassle :)

he is asking about a specific lens that he wants to purchase. I can say i love the lens, but do not have any way of knowing if the particular lens he wants to purchase is used, refurbished or in an open box... sorry

I'm a hobbyist. I'd like to upgrade from the 28-135mm to the 24-105mm, but I'm afraid of spending this much and getting a lens that isn't a "good copy." I'm just not expert enough to know if a lens needs to be recalibrated or something. Is it best for someone like me to buy local and ask the camera store to evaluate the lens sharpness? Or buy from someone like B&H; and ask them to evaluate it before they ship it to me? I resell a lot of lenses, too, and I wouldn't want to resell it some day and have someone complain it wasn't sharp.

It was listed as used. Maybe it was a returned item. Looked new to me. I'm always questioning if used lenses are worth taking a chance, but I have found 2 times, it is worth it. Also consider how easy it is to return on Amazon if there is any reason it is not up to expectations.

As the manufacturer has access to a much larger inventory of lenses than most of us do, I suggest you contact the manufacturer directly.Regards,Jim

Depends on who you buy the lens from. Always check. A used lens reseller could separate the lens from the case. Or, the prior user may not have liked the case. The case is a solid case and a great place to store the lens when it is not in your kit bag.
