My camera wasn't grey market. It was Nikon USA. Still having troubles with viewfinder focus. Camera is being repaired for the 3rd time. I have a feeling it still won't work properly.

It was Nikon USA Legit. It came as described, slightly delayed but it was my first amazon purchase. I had not complaints.

Box says made in japan, Amazon probably does not sell grey market lenses and therefore should have US warranty.Pics with this lens can be seen at my blog: http://carfisheye.blogspot.com/

My best guess is that it's a grey market lens. Several of those companies sell them at very low prices. Be careful as they don't have US warranties. A quick google of the business name will usually tell you what you need. A good price just as long as you never need service. If you do, you're screwed.

Nikon USA will not service GREY MARKET cameras and for repair you have to ship them out of country and wait 6 months to come back

I'm currently away so can't look at it but I'm pretty sure it was. if I remember correctly, nikons are black, replacements are grey. it did charge quickly and has worked fine.

If the lens is new and purchased from a Nikon authorized retailer, the lens will be U.S. - these retailers cannot sell new grey market lenses or cameras. Same with Manufacturer refurbished equipment. If the lens is used, the retailers can sell grey market lenses but they must state that the lens is grey market. If the lens is being sold by a 3rd party seller or non-reputable retailer, you may need to ask as these individuals seldom advertise whether or not a lens is U.S. or Grey Market. Note that a grey market lens is not inferior to a U.S. lens - only that you will not be able to get it serviced by Nikon USA if you do have a problem.

One is covered by a Canon USA warranty and the other is what some folks call "gray market" and has a international warranty and will not be covered or repaired by Canon USA.The 2 parts are the same.

Grey market items do not carry warranty form Nikon. They will not honor it!

I don't know the answer, but I'll answer anyway. I bought mine used, from a seller called "anandrav." So I took a chance. The lens arrived in perfect condition. But what I really wanted to say, is that the quality of the images and the general sharpness of the lens has really been eye-opening. I've bought enough things by grey market, that if one turned out to be a failure, I"d still be miles ahead. But, of course, I don;t know the particular seller and your tolerance for risk. I'm a little tolerant. What's the ad look like and who is the seller?

If the lens is sold by Amazon.com, it will be the USA version. If it's sold on Amazon by a third party, verify with them that it is not grey market.

The one I have is the retail version, but the first one I got through mail-order dealer was the import version, which I sent back. You can tell by the serial number on the box. Check Ken Rockwell review on-line for which explains the ser. no. codes. I wouldn't buy a new one without Nikon warranty support for U.S.

If it is gray, forget about it. If it is USA, up to 5 years from Nikon USA with proof of purchase from an authorized Nikon US dealer.

It's US Market, NOT GREY Market at all. I register mine I bought here on my Canon CPS support account.

Hi. Where I live (Singapore), Nikon will not recognize the warranty if I buy from another country. It is what they term as a "Grey product".

Mine has a us serial number, however there are plenty of grey models. Look for a serial number starting with us. I bought mine used, came with hood, no soft cover. I love the lens. Built quality is excellent. Better than the newer 10-24.

No, it is not a gray market lens, just separated from the 5d MkIII or 6d kit. Yes it comes with a USA warranty.
