I was having a close look at it out of the box and noticed it has absolutely no UX date code whatsoever, anywhere on it, and certainly not in its regular location on the rear mount. http://www.novusphotography.ca

They ceased the Date Code stamping during the 3rd quarter of 2010 on the 70-200 f2.8 MKII lens and quite a few other L lenses. Silverfox1 POTN Feedback / TC Extender Tests / Gear List
