Is this a US made lens or an import? Thanks

It is made in Japan, for US and Canada market since the warranty card says for US and Canada.

Made in Japan. For some reason mine is light gray. Don't let that get in you way. Good lens and most of my lens are from amazon. Had no problems. I do read the review and have made my decision that way.

I am not sure but most likely US made. I will confirm in 12 hours as it is with a friend.

I don't remember it was probably made in China and I think the only thing I got was the lens I wasn't impressed with itif I had it to do over with I would've ordered it

The lens that I purchased was a new one. Having said that it arrived in perfect condition and I have taken so really incredible pictures with these lens. It has become my second fav lens. Also keep checking because Tamron frequently offers rebates , I received $75. Hope this helps.

It is made in China. Best E-Mount lens I have. No issues. Very sharp and OSSworks very quiet. Great for video.

I believe they are imported but the quality is excellent and they are every bit as good as the Nikons.

Thanks for coming back to respond. I was wondering what actually shipped with the lens.

I contacted the company selling the lens & was told it is a USA version with the 4yr Sigma warrantyI suggest you do the same

It is gray market and you are not able to get a warranty in the US. I sent an email to Circuit Street (the seller) to confirm and they verified it is an import. Unfortunately for me I had purchased already since I saw zero mention of that in the actual listing, whereas every other gray market/import listing on Amazon calls that out. Incredibly deceptive, and now I need to wait 1-2 weeks while Amazon processes my cancelled order and gives me my Amazon credit back before I can go and purchase a legit lens from another seller.

The international means the item may not be covered under the US warranty because it comes directly from Japan. I purchased this lens and it came in a plane white box but it is BRAND NEW and it works beautifully. If you ever have to send in for a warranty issue they will see that the serial number is coming from Japan and may not be covered. For $100.00 less I'm not concerned about this as I have tested the lens as soon as I received it and it woks perfect so I won't be damaging it, I am very careful with my equipment. Hope that helps.

The 35mm f/1.8 G AF-S DX lens was made in China too. Had that one for two+ years now and it's been my primary glass on my D90. Never had an issue with it! It is also a great lens...

As far as I can tell, it is a North America lens with full warranty. Mine was marketed as an open box and included all the paper work.

Not sure but this lens is very sharp. Somehow it can vibrate a little but the built of the lens is solid. Anyway, no complain as it cheap.

Sorry I took so long to answer! I finally found it on the ring on the back of the lens. Mine reads made in Thailand & the box also reads Thailand! Great lens!! Love mine! Good luck!

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/

Made in China. This is a kit lens. Its far superior to the 2 kit lens that I got with my EPL2, both are now gathering dust in the closet somewhere. Best feature visible, it zooms without changing its size.

I have the lens before me and there are no markings to indicate where it was manufactured or assembled. I've read that it is manufactured by Sony (Japan?), under Zeiss requirements. In any event, the quality of manufacture is first rate, as is the lens output.
