Is this sold by an authorized tamron dealer where I can use the $100.00 rebate?

Among others, Amazon, B&H; and Adorama are authorized dealers for Tamron where the rebate will be honored. Amazon provides a link to the rebate form on their order page.

I had emailed Tamron's rebate department about this and this was their response (Wolfe's and Murphy's were examples I mentioned in my email to them of stores on their authorized dealer's list that are selling through Amazon): Both Wolfe's and Murphy's are authorized, Amazon is as well so purchase from any would qualify you for rebate.

Amazon is NOT an authorized Tamron dealer, call them to find out for yourself. So you wouldn't be able to use the current rebate.

Tamron has both a list of authorized retailers from Amazon & the form to fill out for the rebate (PDF).

I know Lowrance has a lot of rebates but they came out right after I purchased mine.I would call Lowrance directly( very friendly) and verify the part numbers which are the same on the Amazon site under description.Hope that helps and enjoy the rebate I missed on:)

Most likely a price below $1499 is from a vendor that is not an authorized Tamron dealer. This means you may not be eligible for any rebates or the 6 year warrantee offered by Tamron. Most authorized dealers are going to set the price at MSRP ($1499). It is up to you if a discounted price is worth giving up any rebates and (more importantly) the 6 years of coverage. Go to http://www.tamron-usa.com/dealers.php to see if the dealer who is selling the lens is an authorized dealer of Tamron. If the cheapest price on Amazon is not from an authorized dealer go to the list of all dealers selling the lens on Amazon and find one that is authorized according to the Tamron website. I just bought this from Murphy's Camera because the rebate and warrantee were more important to me than saving a couple bucks. This is especially true when you consider the lens is not cheap and it would really bum me out if I needed to get it fixed out of warrantee.

Thanks Bobster- I was also wondering where the link to the rebate had disappeared to. Why is the price of this item so labile? Yesterday, when I ordered it, it was $299 and today it's $364!

You would need to check the Tamron website for details. There was a $100 mail in rebate when I bought my lens. Tamron was very quick about getting the rebate to me.

The one that I got was a grey market so I sent it right back. It was presented as a USA lens in the product description but Tamron wouldn't let me register it. I asked Amazon to make sure the company listed it correctly but that hasn't happened either. And Amazon is not a Tamron authorized seller. Buyer beware. I was very disappointed with Amazon.

I don't know if Amazon is an authorized dealer. I do know that the batteries are date coded and warranty claims are ultimately decided by this at my local Odyssey dealer.

Yes it is. The seller is an authorized reseller, they even have a consultant number. It is the exact same stuff.

I don't think so. At least when I purchased mine. There wasn't a mail in rebate available. Who's offering it? Amazon or RCBS?

Yes! Check with your local utility. Rebates may be available. My rebate was just $25, but hey, it was $25.

The lens I got from "Another Deal Site" was Gray Market as confirmed by Tamron-usa customer service. It has no warranty and Tamron-usa will not repair it. So, buy at your own risk. I have also talked to Amazon Customer service and they are looking into it. This lens sells for $749 on B&H; (US warranty) so you have to decide if the warranty and support is worth the extra $180.

And if you DO NOT see the link St. Ananas describes, it's because you are looking at the product as sold by another vendor such as Crutchfield. Check the listing of other retailers at the right, Amazon should be in there - go to that page and you will see the link to the rebates. I also find that sometimes clicking the link doesn't work, but it is just a scroll away. Hurry, the rebate form has to be postmarked by 5/19/08.

see no reason you couldn't. Beware of purchasing through Amazon. My first one had the serial number burned off and after research found out they are now authorized dealers. They refunded the money with no problem. Just a warning.

FF: Thanks for the info!Wonder if there is any chance they will have another rebate anytime soon.

I just had a friend buy this here, wanted to save dollars and unfortunately it was tampered, not the real deal at all. She had one direct from DoTerra and was able to know the difference immediately.
