I see quite a few "white box" 24-105's for sale. Since I'm in the market for one I wondered If theres any difference between say a 24-105 bought with a 5D kit or one that was bought by itself?
Is the kit one grey market ?

It comes in a white box when you buy it in a kit with a camera...but its the same lens regardless. 5D3 | 7D | 85L II | 70-300L | 24-105L | Nifty Fifty | 600EX-RT_______________
