Shipping
The lens arrived as advertised ahead of the schedule
The lens had no visable damage and arrived quickly
Packaging/appearance
Comes nicely packaged with a case hood lens cover manual

In comes sigma i know i said i swore off third party but that was almost 10 years ago and the disparity of quality has shrunk and the third parties are making comparable lenses for half the price
