Great lens, the only reason I didn't buy it myself is because i already have the F 135 f2.8

Actually buyer protection has covered that for me the n the past. But I asked directly about glass condition.

I find most sellers will include pictures of optics if you ask them. I usually ask if everything functions alright as well.

Seller removed lens saying: "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing"

Lens was listed again by the seller but is now sold:

I could not spot any difference between the removed listing and the new one when comparing side by side.
