    Don't order open box items from Best Buy!

    I ordered this lens from BestBuy.com around the holidays as a gift, it was listed as open-box excellent. When the gift was opened it was noticed that there was a large scratch in the metal around the front barrel where the lens cap connects. I waited 2 weeks to see if one would be available at a local Best Buy. I was unable to find one, so I returned the item was still charged a restocking fee. I have called multiple times to have this charge removed, as the item does not fit the description for Open-box excellent. I was told the charge would be removed, but am not being told that person was incorrect and there is no way to have it removed. I shop at Best Buy all the time and this is unacceptable. I will no longer be purchasing any camera equipment here. if you decide to, buy at your own risk. Be vary of their open -box items as it appears they don't check them very well.

    I got booked for my first wedding shoot and rented this lens at last minute. This lens is worth every penny, I am now about to go through and buy this lens. I’ve shot with other 35mm lens that are higher end compared to this lens, and this lens surpasses most of them as far as quality and sharpness. I also love that this lens is small in size compared to other 35mm lens.
