I ordered an 85mm 1.8, and it arrived in a black/silver box, not the traditional white/red/black boxes I'm familiar with. I've previously only seen the black/silver boxes for EF-M lenses, is Canon going to the new boxes for all their lenses?

msowsun "approx 8mm" More info | Nov 15, 2013 18:59 | #12 "L" lenses have always shared the same design box as non-L lenses, so I expect the new silver boxes will start showing up on L lenses soon too. J_TULLAR wrote in post #16454891 Old box looks better lol. I like the new box because there is a photo of what's in the box.
