Would you keep a Sony 16–35 f/2.8 GM II purchased on Amazon that has so many scratches on the packaging?

I ordered a new Sony 16–35 f/2.8 GM II on Amazon (possibly a bad decision), and the box arrived pretty beat up, like a raccoon went at it. The lens itself looks new and in good condition, but it didn’t come wrapped in bubble wrap. Some lenses I’ve bought in the past did, so I’m unsure whether this box had been opened before.

Can anyone confirm whether these lenses normally ship with bubble wrap inside the box when new?

Would you send it back just for peace of mind?

I think it’s ok to keep it…and you?

On Reddit Viltrox wrote:

The AF 50mm f/1.2 LAB and AF 85mm f/1.2 LAB lenses are currently in development, and we plan to launch them in 2026.

We don’t yet have an FE 85mm f/1.2 lens, so this is a welcome addition that fills one of the rare gaps in the E-mount lens lineup.

As for AF FE 50mm f/1.2 lenses, we already have two options to choose from:

Both lenses are likely to be priced around $1000 just like the Viltrox 35mm f/1.2 FE.
