Recent 24-70ii buyers, did you get white box or black/gray box?

I recently got the same kind of box with an 85mm f1.8. It had one of the new style lens caps so I just figured new style box. So I do not think you have anything to worry about. The new boxes also match some of the EOS -M lens and accessories i have.

I imagine you also go one of the new style lens caps.

Cool. Got my 85 1.8 months ago and it was the familiar white. Looks like indeed Canon is moving to a new box design.

Has anyone did a test comparison with Nikon boxes?

Hi Guys, Im from Brazil and got my new lens like yours, and the same grey box! I was suspicious and found this topic! Im not sure, but seems like new box!

And yes, my lens have zoom noise, like clicking, in rear and front zoom, and I returned to the store, and got new and still have noise on zoom, but only when I pull back...weird, hum? Seems like problem in this series...but I will stay with this lens for long years...very expensive here, in Brazil

Thanks

Glad I found this thread. Last week I made a Canonpricewatch purchase from a dealer I'd never heard of.

Got the package today and was kinda freaked out when I saw the gray/black box. USA warranty card that matched the number on the lens and on the UPC of the box. Date code shows it was made in Jan 2015.

So far, so good 8)

Recently bought a UK spec (from a Canon Pro dealer) 16-35 F4 L IS, a Grey import 24-70 F2.8 L v2 and a Canon 1.4 Mk3 extender - all came in the grey/silver and black boxes.
None click, have bubbles in the coatings etc etc, all work perfectly.
