I want to order some lenses but they are not giving me options for warranty. Does amazon not offer them. Should I order from sony directly?

I have a rider on my home owners insurance that covers my lenses. It pays for any damage or loss that I might have with my lense or camera. It is cheaper than extended warranty and covers more.

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?

The lens is imported from overseas, so it is not eligible for Nikon warranty or rebates. There is no difference in the item itself. You can purchase a 3rd party warranty for pretty cheap though.

you could order direct from olympus but its not coming anytime soon. I went throughout Tokyo and every camera store manager told me they've had backorders since the camera came out. They were equally as upset at Olympus about this as I was.

Im pretty sure there was a warranty card in the box. Its a really great lens for the the money. The bokeh and dof is excellent

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.

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.

Anywhere that accepts returns would be safe in my book. Amazon sells used lenses, typically hundreds of dollars cheaper than if you were to buy new. I have purchased three lenses used from Amazon and never had an issue. With Prime, I have the peace of mind that I can return it within 30 days with no hassle :)

I AM going to buy the Z40 from Amazon. No tax, no shipping, in the house setup etc. Called Amazon on phone about the warranty: they told me first 30 days unconditional in house warranty from Amazon AFTER a 7? day 100% return etc. After that 1 yearin house warranty from AUTHORIZED Sony service. That is what P C Richard quted me But they want 7% tax and $130 delivery charge. Amazon gotta be the way. Have bought number of books and kitchen items from thm an they deliver practically before U sign off. ZERO complaints in my dealings with them. Would that every body was like this.

Tokina USA will not warranty products purchased through Amazon - I found this out when my lens failed and I sent it in for repair. Try BH Photo or Adorama instead.

These reviews and questions are for all versions of this lens and the same info is visible under all different sellers of this lens. Amazon likes to mix all reviews together. So basically, we can't answer that question here because it depends on who you buy it from. Only buy from authorized Nikon sellers and you should have US warranty.

No there is no quality difference. Only serial number difference, i.e. it contains serial specific to a certain country. Sony will not cover warranty within USA. You can buy a third party warranty in case you need it. I never buy lenses within USA. The same lens usually is 25% cheaper from Japan or Hong Kong and those sellers provide free third party warranty. Unless you do not handle your lenses with tender care, there is no sense to buy lenses in the USA just for the sake warranty. The professional Lenses are made to last for years. But, I never buy camera which manufacturer will not cover under warranty within USA. You may have higher chances of needing a warranty repair for a Camera. No there is no quality difference.

You could try to find a Sony dealer sight on the internet. I have a Sony store I go to here in Australia. Maybe there is a Sony store near your location. That being said all goods sold in Australia have a 3 Year warranty.(Reasonable time use-age) You could contact your Consumer goods commission if you have such a service in the country where you live? If you get no satisfaction from the dealer you purchased the item from.

good question, not sure, but i ordered the extended warranty also with amazon to cover myself! Lens is great for long distance and out about 10 feet, but any closer is too close!

Did you ever get a lens? I'm making the same decision now. If so, what did you buy? Are you happy with your decision? Is there anything else you would add that would help me make a decision. Thanks!
