I was expecting white, but it's an off white. Still shoots fantastic pictures and performs very well.

FYI - this lens (at lease the US version) DOES come new with a hood as well as a very nice $50+ zippered soft case and tripod mount the hood is a twist-on bayonet style similar to all OEM Canon hoods -it is more of a cone-style flat hood, NOT a petal-style hood like the 70-210mm has the case stands out as a high cost, high quality item worthy of housing such an expensive lens the tripod mount is completely solid and becomes part of the lens body - it is many times stronger than it needs to be

It seems to be a misprint. I own the lens and a D7000 and they work great together.

I bought one of these white box offers. It means it came in a kit sale with multiple lens. These lens came packed in separate packing, the white box. Some people would rather upgrade to a better lens. Some of the better lens cost more than the camera. Over all, it works just fine and I could tell mine was not used. That being said, the better the lens, more options for a clearer more defined focus at distances. Hope this helps

Mine is in perfect condition. I have several lenses from Tamron and they have all been in mint condition. Return it to them and they should replace.

I believe this is what they call "gray market" if it is then it is a Canon lens but canon will NOT service it for free for the first year. Even the US lenses are not serviced for free after the first year

This question is answered in the Q&As; on Amazon. This is a 'white box' unit, which means it was separated from a camera combo pack. I registered mine at Canon for warranty and had no problems. As I understand it from reading other Q&As; and comments, this is the same high quality, new lens. I have no reason to question that, mine was new.

The canon EF 70-300mm f4-5.6L IS is a white lens. There is a DO (diffraction optics) which is a professional quality lens, but it is shorter in length than the pictured lens.

Hi "wookstock": It means that the package where you receive the lens is not the original Nikon package but just any box (a "white" box). However the lens itself is original. Best rgrds,Ruben

To the best of my knowledge, it basically means that the lens was part of a bundle from Japan, including camera, lens, accessories,etc. The bundle is broken up and each item is sold separately when it arrives in the U.S. The white box is proof of this. However, they are brand new and work perfectly. I am quite pleased with mine, and the $100 savings makes it well worth it.

I don't know. I love my lens. Haven't had any problems with it. Wish i could buy a stronger one than 200mm. Sherry

Made in Japan. For some reason mine is light gray. Don't let that get in you way. Good lens and most of my lens are from amazon. Had no problems. I do read the review and have made my decision that way.

I bought this mount ring from this seller last year. Eventhough they sent it from China but this mount arrived faster than what the seller said. FYI, I am in Nebraska.This item works as it should be in my canon 70-200mm 2.8 non IS. All you need to do is check if the mount ring for 70-200mm 2.8 IS has the same mount ring with 70-200mm non IS. You can check it on web.

Is the cannon macro/telephoto? That could be a factor. Im not sure. I dont have this lens yet. Though it will be my next lens once I get this return issue with the Sigma resolved.

You are absolutely right on that Scott. The 35 1.8 is also a Chinese made lens. Same here ... that 35 1.8 was the first lens on my D90 (which is made in Thailand) and is still my go-to prime lens. I feel like this 85 mm is definitely more a portrait lens given the effective focal length on the D90. It performs superbly tho. I think the only two Japanese lenses i own are Toknia's. I don't understand why its important where a lens is made tho? Is it about the QC??

I believe, after reading the description that the white Box indicates a refurbished lens. I do not recall what color my lens came in.

The white box one mentions list price as $499, while this one says $800. I checked at Canon web site. The list price for this lens should be $499. So any clues why Amazon has it listed as $800 on this page? Are there two versions of the same lens - i.e. is this the newer version compared to White Box offer? This is all too confusing as there are listings for seeming the same product. I understand the reason behind White Box etc., but why difference in list price???
