- Make sure the caps and warranty card are there - Check the external body for dings & dents - Mount on your cam to check for sharpness and focusing |

- Check the box seal is still intact. - Like buying old lens, check glass condition (precaution). Have fun with your new lens and share your photo !

Hi JiEeEe, Sorry bro, I'm not able to reply PMs from my office PC. Think it's some stupid PC compatibility issue. Anyway, what you have stated in your PM is correct. |
