Says it's USA version. I've ordered from GreenToe before, shipping address was from Adorama. I'm pretty sure it's just a MAP pricing thing. Retailer is willing to sell for cheaper price, but due to MAP agreement cannot advertise is directly as such.

3rd party marketplace, so when you place an order, it will be fulfilled by an authorized dealer.

I have this lens for my Sony a7III and it's great. For those unfamiliar with Greentoe just know that $649 is the price that you'll pay. They don't charge for tax or shipping. I buy most of my lenses through Greentoe.

I have the "original" version of this lens I got back in early 2019 and it's my everyday lens - highly recommend it for this price.

$50 cheaper than the last quite popular deal for this lens. I was on the fence at 700, but 650 finally got me to go for it.

IMO yes - that said, when I bought mine I had an a6500. I knew that within the next two years I would want to upgrade to a full frame and ended up getting my a7III for $95 a few months later. I'm not saying to expect a PM (though you never know haha), but if there's any chance you'll upgrade to a full frame camera, you don't wan to have to re-buy the lens.

That said, a full frame lens on the APS-C sensor will have a crop factor making it more zoomy essentially - https://www.reddit.com/r/photogra...with_apsc/
