I'm surprised not to have read much about the beautiful packaging of these lenses. I've bought many lenses but this is quite remarkably high end: a lovely sleeved artistically decorated hinged box with slot-packed lens and hood, a stylish rubber ceiling to prevent movement, a ribbon hinge and inside a lens of fine build quality and perfect hood fit.
Almost imperceptible aperture detents, it simply exudes quality. What a fine gift it would make. It throws shade on so many others (and kudos to B&H for a four business day delivery to Australia, door to door).
The boxes that my TTArtisan 28 5.6 and Brightin Star 28 2.8 came in are simply gorgeous.
The BS lens even had a linen pouch for the lens within the box! Both are $300 lenses.
It makes me think that a nice box is not exactly hard or expensive to make.
I actually don't want any of the crap- The old Leica lenses that came in these massive boxes, or the MP's in these things with drawers etc.
No need for all that excess. Just securely wrap the lens and ship it to me
Agreed. The way Leica packages many of its cameras is bizarre. It’s almost as if they designed it for one of those youtube unpackaging videos!
The one good thing about the new M6 is it shows up in a small hard shell plastic case. That’s it. No extra junk. The other film Ms still come in that excessive multi layered hidden compartments extravaganza.
Most of my Cameras and lenses never see their boxes again until the day I sell them. Too busy shooting them. Nice solod packaging is good enough for me.
