Notes
PLEASE NOTE: The tripod ring that comes with this lens is not the original. It’s a generic tripod ring with a foot that is actually an Arca-Swiss type plate. The problem with it is that it prevents the lens hood from mounting on the lens in the backwards/unused position. The plate section of the ring can be removed with an Allen key, which will allow backward mounting of the lens hood.
Lens includes caps, hood, and generic tripod ring.
