Discussion
Good lens
The product arrived in perfect condition in Colombia and is exactly as shown in the supplier's photo, who also sent me a photo when the lens was being shipped. It's perfect!
The product is amazing, the seller is super attentive, the only bad thing was the shipping company, but that's separate from the seller. Don't send to Colombia via Mail Americas, it's a disaster.
Excellent product, arrived super fast to Colombia. Packaging was completely sealed with a lens cover. Brand new, highly recommended.
