ZhiyaoYoungUmmmm, really? Lenses are shipped all over the world, from B&H and Amazon to individuals on eBay. I have, quite literally, dozens of lenses, never had an issue. And these lenses are pretty bomber (unless you drop your 16-35 2.8 from a top bunk onto a tile floor in Costa Rica--doh! Don't do that!). No they're not like Leica lenses (don't drop you $5000 lenses anyhow) or even MF Nikons, but in the box they're fine. So step up and get one. Gorgeous glass, if you're shooting full frame without this you're missing out.
