Nikon 70-200VR ? Price

Give them a call and ask. The beauty about B&H is that if you're not satisfied with it, you can return it or exchange it.

 

I had the same thoughts but like Sandi said, I could have returned it.
I purchased the lens with the same code and the lens is all new, no grey market, 5 year Nikon warranty etc.

 

Congrats. You'll love it.

 

I bought on this same price, thanks to someone here on the cafe. It just arrived today, and it's spectacular. If this is a returned lens, I certainly can't tell.

I also noticed that my other purchase - the 28-70mm f/2.8 - was available for $35 less as a Demo. It was clearly marked as such. I get the feeling B&H is above board about the condition of its items. They also have an Open Box section on the web page for such items.

If you don't like the 70-200mm VR as a lens (doubtful), it's certainly a useful club.

 

Glad you went ahead! it should be new and you should be delighted.

 

If you ever get to NYC, you should go to the B&H store.
It is an almost orgasmic experience - 35000 sq ft of techie stuff.
Unbelievable service.
Major cash flow - they had 12 cashiers working when I was there on Sunday.

 

Carman, you're sunk now - you'll love this lens!!!! It's so sweet :biggrin:

 

I got mine a few weeks ago with the same code. It was definitely a new lens. You are going to love the lens.
