Indeed, I reached out to the seller and he confirmed the one image of the lens where the badge is displayed is black and white. Nice call.

(I'd mark your post as the "answer" but I'm a new user and don't have that privilege yet.)

I would request more photos, in colour, so you can see the real condition of the lens. You want to be able to see the condition of the front and rear optics, the mount and contacts, the front filter thread, the overall cosmetic condition, etc. I'm always wary of sellers who post only one or few photos, and who try to represent it in a way that is different from how it actually looks. Buyer beware 🧐
