Where was this lens made? Is it a gray market product? Does it have a USA warranty?

Mine came with USA warranty but it probably depends on who you by it from. I have seen gray market but they seem to state it in the ad. I believe it is made in Japan.

Hi Jccwc, The camera DOES have a US warranty card. My lens is covered in marking tape covering much of the info but I imagine it's made in Japan.

Lens is "Made in Japan" and says so right next to the serial number. It has USA warranty. If the seller is Amazon, then it is for sure not gray market.

It comes with the one year Canon warranty, you can register it online or by mail

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/

Japan and USA warranty. By the way, I never needed to use a warranty with a canon lens. This one is wonderful.

I do not recall, and do not have it at-hand.I can tell you that I have not needed a warranty -- the lens works perfectly and functions as-new.:)

This is a USA lens. Amazon price was competitive (for a Nikon, which I consider somewhat overpriced... But, honestly, it is a much better lens than the competition, based on the comments in reviews on sites such as this AND various photography 'enthusiast' sites (such as photo magazine sponsored sites). I have NOT personally, physically compared to the competition, but I'm happy with the purchase.).

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.

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

Lens usually sells $650. Couldnt. believe $350 from Davismax thru Amazon. But true, brand new with USA warranty. LOVE IT. Still cant believe.

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.

Gray market means that this lens is not distributed officially by Canon in the USA, so you don't have warranty of Canon USA, that's why is cheaper.The lens is the same lens, so if you don't care about the warranty go for it.Good luck!

Hello, the Canon USA warranty is one year, and is only applicable on Canon USA lenses, not grey market. The warranty is through Canon USA, so you would need to contact Canon for warranty repair. Thanks.

If it's from Amazon or Adorama (where I got mine) and I'm sure B&H; and other big US dealers, it will definitely NOT be gray-market. Great lens too btw.

Made in China if that is what you mean, but it is a really good lens; works great, sturdy...Seems just like other lens to us. Same as Dennis Cass answer below. Correct hologram sticker on the box.

"gray market" doesn't have anything to do with the color of the lens, at least in this case. It just means that it's not sold with the USA warranty. Check out Adorama's FAQ for more info http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=FAQ#Grey%20Market%20Information:
