Has any one else had a cover like this on the distance scale window on a brand new lens? I know that mine haven't.

Like they have on mobilephone glass when new.

mwsilver Goldmember More info | Feb 15, 2012 13:06 | #4 A little confusing. What exactly do you mean by "a cover like this"? It looks pretty normal to me unless you mean the protective plastic tape covering the window? As per the article, these are prototype versions so perhaps that's the reason for the protective covering. Or perhaps its the start of a new trend, Mark

I know that mine haven't. I have bought at least four new Canon lenses over the years, and none of them ever had a protective cover over the distance window.
