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!
Hmmm!
I think it's the reverse.
The P models are the latest additions to Nikon line up with new quieter stepper motors. There is apparently no difference in optical performance. They are slightly more expensive than the AFS version.
Of course the lens itself will have AFS or AFP painted on it...so that will clarify which lens has been sent.
The point here is...does the warranty paperwork match the serial number stamped on the lens itself?
