[QUOTE="Claudia!, post: 204510, member: 8139"] Well my original 55-200 came in pristine condition. I was the one who messed it up by not taking care of it and by clumsy accidents that I never intended to happen. This was about 2 years ago though. I learned from it and no longer take my lenses for granted. Now I keep my lenses in a secure location, clean them well, store them well, with the cap on when not in use, and take them on and off with caution. I wish I had done that then. Now I can securely say, my current lenses will last a lifetime. As for the 70-300, I just purchased it today. I have bought all my lenses but one lens from best buy except my Tokina which I bought from adorama. I like to check out what I am buying beforehand. I love the hands on approach. I've never had such issues with best buy. The two lenses at the first BB I went to said they where new and no one had opened them. I knew this was a lie because of how they where packaged inside. As for the one I purchased today, It just got off their delivery truck last night and had only been put out in the locked shelf display for about 30 minutes before I arrived. My friend, a BB employee, made sure to keep me updated on it so that I could come snatch it up right away. I wanted to make sure no one got their hands on it to mess it up as the other "new" lenses had been. I don't think the dirt is worth it. I am paying for new therefore I expect new. I hope the other lenses that arrive don't have such issues. [/QUOTE]
