Is this a US warranty or grey market lens ?

I got a US warranty. I suggest you go to Beach Camera and check out their warranty policy since this is where the camera comes from.

Like all the other answers, it is an original Samsung lens but I'm not sure of the warranty.

As sold by Midwest Photo thru Amazon this is a " USA/six year warranty" official Tamron product. The lens is not made in the USA.

E: Thanks for the reply. I also wrote Amazon, and they told me: "Many of the items listed on our website are covered by a manufacturer's warranty. This information should be listed in the owner's manual for the product." I explained what gray market meant in my inquiry, but obviously they don't get it at all. The price is so low that I assumed it was gray market. I agree with you--I would never buy a Nikon product from anyone other than Amazon directly.

The lens I purchased from Amazon was the US version. I don't think Amazon sells any grey market lenses.

I bought one with US warranty. I do not know if a gray market lens is available with international warranty. Check at large camera store web sites (like Adorama or B&H;).

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.

The Tamron 90mm macro lens that I purchased through Amazon came with a USA warranty. It was not a gray market item. Some dealers may or may not sell gray market goods but a reputable dealer should give you the choice.

Michael,The one I got a few months back is the US warranty version. I have purchased quite a few Canon lenses on Amazon and they have all be US versions.

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?

Hi I'm just wondering. Does this lens come with a warranty if I buy it off Amazon? Sorry, am new here.

It is my understanding that the warranty is not included if the lens was purchased on the so called, "Grey Market."

It was USA but I don't remember the warranty details as I returned the lens.

Check out Tamron's website. They offer a 6-year warranty on all their lenses...parts and labor regardless of where you buy it. Just have to show proof of purchase (original invoice). Don't know if this is true for grey market as well, but worth a phone call to Tamron.

It is the US version with Canon warranty. I have since learned that the color of the lens is a soft grey as opposed to the off white color of my 70-200 L IS lens. I liked it, but I returned it and bought the 70-200 L IS and the telephoto extender.

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.

Almost all lenses can be purchased grey market, especially from the cheaper NY camera stores. Buy from a reputable dealer, especially those who sell "fulfillment by Amazon" and if you should by some small chance get a grey market lens you'll find out pretty quick when you try to register it for warranty with Tamron and if not warranted return it to Amazon quickly.
