Re: EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM?

It isn't just the front ring that is shiny metallic but the next couple of rings down holding the next couple of lens elements. These rings are matt black for a reason  to reduce internal reflections, worth testing in into the light to see how it performs. Personally I would be very cautious and would consider returning it if possible.   If it was very cheap I am sure the black parts could be sourced from canon and a competent camera technician could fit them.  Is the back of the lens the same?

good luck.
