Is this lens made for the U.S.A ? Does it bring everything ? Life hood, soft cover, and lens covers ? Thank you !

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.

Mine is US lens and came with hood and lens cover but did not come with soft case.

If you buy it new, yeah. It fits American-sold cameras (not sure if there's any difference in fitting a lens to a European or Asian camera anyway), and it has lens covers and a soft case. I can't remember if mine came with a hood or not (I think it did).

Yes, to all questions above. If you buy it new, of course. If you buy it used, you might not get some if the accessories.

Yes to everything if bought new. The one I bought was a US lens with the 5 year warranty. The only difference between a gray market and a US lens is the warranty. 1 year and must be shipped to overseas repair center vs 5 yr US warranty at any repair center in the US.

Yes, a hood does come with this lens. It appears to be the same hood as comes with the 18-55 mm kit lens.

Yes it has both the lens hood and warranty, but to be honest this is not my favorite lens. Its very hard to manually focus and that is important in macro. When you focus in and out there is a little "lag" as you change directions making it imprecise. Saw that in other reviews. It also overexposes about 1/2 stop which is not a big problem. Just thought you'd like to know.

Hi there Jaclyn. This is a premium lens and it comes with everything standard for a premium lens including a very nice case. A great lens indeed. You got to buy your filters separately and if you need additional protection then buy the skin for it too.

I have purchased extra lens caps for mine. You just need to order a 67mm diameter cap. Lens Cap Bundle - 4 Snap-on Lens Covers for DSLR Cameras including Nikon, Canon, Sony - Lens Cap Keepers included (67mm) As for the hood, I haven't had to order a new one or additional ones but I imagine you can (again 67mm).

Hi, thanks question. This lens made in Japan. But It's parts of China and Malaysia, Korea.Thanks in advance.

Yes Sir, it does come with the hood. This is one of the finest lens I have ever used. Make sure your camera accepts the e-mount and that it has the firmware that corrections the barrel distortion inherent to the lens. This is discussed in most of the reviews about the lens. It works beautifully with my Sony Nex 7. I never even see the distortion.

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

Hi. The lens itself, lens hood, lens cap, lens carrying strap, hard case with custom molded interior to fit lens, a carrying strap for the hard case, & keys for the hard case. Warranty card and user manual CD-ROM That's about it. The lens was originally shipped in its supplied hard case that was nicely packed in a large canon box that was boxed again by amazon. My lens was also in plastic bags and was clearly not handled since leaving the factory as another person has described. Enjoy!

My T5i is made in Japan. Both of my USM lenses are made in Japan. I do not own the 18-200, however.

Normally it comes with a very nice case but I don't remember if it had a hood or not. Normally i never use the hoods of any of my lenses. This lens is one of the nicest and clearest long lenses I have used and the macro capability is very nice because you don't have to get so close to your subject.

It comes with a hood and the warranty is one year valid only in the Americas (North, Central and South). I hope you're not buying this for Sony or Pentax though, as the OS is NOT included for such mount.

The lens I have is a Sony SEL50F18. It is made in China. Looking at photos I've taken, it is a very good lens.

You are absolutely right on that Scott. The 35 1.8 is also a Chinese made lens. Same here ... that 35 1.8 was the first lens on my D90 (which is made in Thailand) and is still my go-to prime lens. I feel like this 85 mm is definitely more a portrait lens given the effective focal length on the D90. It performs superbly tho. I think the only two Japanese lenses i own are Toknia's. I don't understand why its important where a lens is made tho? Is it about the QC??

The lens included the caps and a cloth case, but I don't believe I received a lens hood. I use a 46mm-37mm step down ring and an Olympus PRF-D37 37mm extension ring with a 37mm Olympus lens cap on my lens. This combination works fine for me.

It comes in a cardboard box. No hood. I bought one here on Amazon (3rd party) for $6. The lens is amazing. The cheap hood is a bit tight but it works.

I don't know for sure where the lens is made, but of course Nikon is a Japanese company. The lens is a favorite of Ken Rockwell, whose opinions seem to be unanimously followed. If your concern is warranty, not quality, the question is whether the lens is grey market or carries a "usa warranty." The seller should tell you this.
