This is a new lense I got. As far as the warranty I don't have an answer for that. My lense has been working perfect.

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

Yes I too bought this lens not too long ago (under a year) noticed the sound immediately however I expected that heading it from many sources, what troubles me though is that it's been only 6 months and I've had to send it in for service because my auto focus motor failed.

I believe there is a limited time warranty. So yes there is warranty. If you want to make sure you can go on the sony we sight and it should say.

Great lens, but what the current warranty policy is I don't know, except there is a warranty of some sort. Ricoh Imaging bought Pentax - you might contact them. If the lens has been on the shelf awhile it probably has the Pentax warranty card but I'm not in a position to guarantee that. I'm sure Ricoh does not want to alienate Pentax users.

I used the warranty after I dropped my camera about 4 months after purchase. They paid the shipping. Fixed the lens and got it was to me quickly.

The lens I got from "Another Deal Site" was Gray Market as confirmed by Tamron-usa customer service. It has no warranty and Tamron-usa will not repair it. So, buy at your own risk. I have also talked to Amazon Customer service and they are looking into it. This lens sells for $749 on B&H; (US warranty) so you have to decide if the warranty and support is worth the extra $180.

I don't remember seeing anything concerning a 6-year warranty, but I probably overlooked it - I often do that. I have not offered the lens for sale. In fact, I haven't even used it yet, so I don't know what it will do. OK?

Well, that's it for me. Just got another notice that the shipment date has been pushed back to 4 Sep 06. Thanks for the tip about Adorama. I'm going to check out their seller rating/prices. I'm really irritated with Amazon right now since I ordered this camera from them (not a vendor) at a good sale price. About $750 for the camera body with both lenses. Of course, that doesn't mean much if they don't ship the camera. The aggravation of waiting over two months isn't worth it. And of course, the page still states that Amazon ships in 1-2 weeks.

If it is sold directly by Amazon, I don't believe you have an issue. If it's a 3rd party (even selling through Amazon), you should check. Usually it'll say something like "USA Warranty" in the description. And if a lens is significantly cheaper than at the usual places, be doubly suspicious.It's a great lens, but its strength is in the 16-24 range, not as much in the 24-35 range. Since I have the 24-70, that's not such a big deal -- but be aware.

This appears that there is a couple of ideas to why such a price difference. 1 this could be a refurbished lens. 2 this could be a gray market lens that you will not be able to get the US Warranty for the lens. 3 could be sold by an unauthorized dealer. My experience, is to find an authorize dealer that you will get the proper support for warranty and technical support.

If the lens is bought new, and is registered, then yes you get the 6 year warranty. If you buy it refurbished, be sure it is done by either a Tamron or Nikon dealer. Then you will get a warranty but I an not sure of the length. I loved my lens, but gave it away to a very deserving friend, when I upgraded some of my gear.

Greetings,If you buy the Lens Refurbished Directly from Canon they give you warranty with it. However, we can't guarantee that the warranty will be honor if the refurbished item is bought outside from Canon . On the other hand, we are a canon authorized dealer and all our lenses are brand new, in case you are asking about one of our listing.Hope this help.Best,H and B Digital Team

Well I may be muddling the water but I just called Sony and asked this question. The Lady I talked to said they still ship this lens without the new firmware and when purchased you must send it back to get the update. Doesn't make sense but its the only answer I could get.
