Either way it will still take nice photographs. No need to get too hung up on exactly what technology. My old manual focus AI lenses still turn out remarkable images.

As they say on some car forums, "It's the nut behind the wheel that really counts!". ;-)

I would take the warranty certificate as accurate. The box may be old stock which they are using up, with latest VRII lens in it. They will print many boxes at a time to keep printing costs down and then update the lens before all the boxes are used up.

Packaging can vary from actual contents. Notice the lens number is printed on on a label stuck on to the box, probably printed as the warranty was printed, to avoid mistakes.

Have fun! :thumbs:


Actually the Lens inside is same as Box, that is, AF-P here its pic. I have check the specs of both lens, no major difference I noticed.

I suspect the concern was more about the consistency and hence validity of the paperwork in the event of a warranty repair, rather than which technology he had bought.

what is the serial number stamped on the lens body? If it's the same as the paperwork then you are ok.

It is same serial number on the lens body. What I wonder, (if it make any difference that) there are no switches on the lens body. One is Auto-Manual and other switch is VR ON-OFF. Which I think is on the AF-S models, not on AF-P. So it is my main point.

Ok...your photo doesn't show any switches...so that is P lens.

This is what the S lens looks like...

Yes I know that. Thanks.
Of course P and S lens both can take pictures. Actually if there is not much cost difference in S and P and do not have more option in S then P, I will not pursue it, otherwise I will.

Thanks Eric for your time.

Not a problem...we are always a friendly helpful group.

As Robert said...you just need to use the lens you have and not worry.
The paperwork showing S instead of P is probably a clerical error. What's important is the serial number matching the lens if you ever need warranty repair. But hopefully this will never be required.

As far as the switches on lenses are concerned.....in my experience I rarely use them! They stay fixed in the position they were when I bought the lens. In fact on my wife's Panasonic camera the switches are a problem ...because the left hand holding the lens moves them accidentally causing changes to the camera functions. Many pro photographers 'fix' with duct tape, the knobs and switches around their cameras to avoid accidental movements. So having a lens with no switches could be a blessing.

Get out there and enjoy the new camera,



;-)

Yes Eric, Thanks and I already have gain some familiarity for different shutter speed and aperture on this camera, then I will move forward to have more information on other things as well, in order to get most what I want. I will show you some of my result when I get some confidence.
Thanks and have a nice day.
Regards
