Hi guys
I am about to buy this lenses there, it's the Canon EF 100mm 2.8 USM Macro lens

http://www.ebay.com/itm/mint-CANON-EF-100mm-2-8-USM-MACRO-lens-F2-8-FILTER-/140760800467?_trksid=m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8746539250192854916#ht_482wt_115

Canon USA however seems to have a different picture of it
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_100mm_f_2_8_macro_usm#Reviews

Notice the silver ring at the bottom of the eBay one ?
I want to save $200 but I don't know if they are exactly the same or not, and how come one has that ring and the other does not. Everything else down to the manufacturer SKU is exactly the same.

If someone can point out the differences to me I would greatly appreciate it
Thanks guys

The "silver ring" is the metal lens mount, the Canon image just shows the lens sans rear cap.

The 50/1.8 is a plastic mount, and the EF-S 60 macro and 17-55/2.8 are both metal mounts.
