That may help I hope but as for telling if it is a "genuine" Canon lens I suppose only the manufacturers can tell you - But I have to say I've not heard of any counterfeit lenses.

Hi Andy,

Thanks mate for your help. I have never heard of it either but buying off ebay i thiught i would ask the question just in case. I have since purchased the lens and cant wait for it to arrive so i can play. All the write ups on the canon lens seem to be very good. Again thanks for your help Paul...
