Hi,
I just got the lens from an online shop.
The parcel made a bit of a rattling sound when moving, it turned out the lens cap wasn't snapped on properly, so it was hitting the glass. The lens was wrapped in a plastic bag but the hood was on, so the cap had a few centimetres to move around.
I examined the front part with a loupe but couldn't detect any scratches.
What do you think, any possibility of damage to the coating, or something else to be concerned about?
Maybe I'm a bit paranoid ;-) the cap is just plastic after all, it's just weird knowing it happily banged on the expensive glass for quite a long journey.
Best regards,
Dan
