Is this a US package (eligible for Canon USA warranty) or a grey market package (from overseas and not eligible for Canon USA warranty)?

Hello, I cant speak for every seller, but I can assure you that we (Murphy's Camera) are an authorized Canon USA dealer. All of our Canon items are genuine USA products and include the full USA warranty. We never have, and never will, sell grey market products. Not all Amazon merchants are Authorized Canon dealers. You can check a full list of all Canon USA authorized dealers by downloading this list from Canon: www.usa.canon.com/app/pdf/dealer/CanonAuthorizedDealers.pdf‎

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

It's US Market, NOT GREY Market at all. I register mine I bought here on my Canon CPS support account.

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.

It is a Canon item but I am not sure about the warranty? I have had no problems at all with the product purchased.

Hi, this is new, in a plain brown canon service box (Not HP Retail Badged). Comes with 90 day warranty

I spoke with Camera Kings about 9 months ago about a Canon camera body I wanted - because their price was significantly lower than Amazon's. On close questioning, they admitted that their product was "gray market" (my term, not theirs) - i.e., no Canon USA Warranty (although they said that it came with a Camera Kings warranty). If I wanted the Canon USA warranty, their price was about the same as Amazon's. I decided to stick with Amazon!

I had to return the bundle I purchased from this vendor. It does come with all it shows, but it is a grey market camera which is NOT advertised. This means the camera was not manufactured to be purchased in the United States. The one I received was intended to be purchased by consumers in Europe. What this means to you is that you will get a camera for less money that Nikon will NOT warranty. Let me repeat this... if anything goes wrong with the camera or Nikon lenses, no one will touch them; you are on your own. I repurchased a similar kit on Amazon through Adorama. They had the best price for a kit that comes with all US warranties. Happy shopping.

If the lens is sold by Amazon.com, it will be the USA version. If it's sold on Amazon by a third party, verify with them that it is not grey market.

From what I understand it is made by canon but it's made for other countries. So, basically it's a canon without the warranty. I've used mine quite a bit and haven't had a problem yet.

I'm not in Europe but canon US honored it I had a shutter failure 2 months after purchase. Canon honored warranty just had to present proof of purchase

I can't say for sure, but I'll guess that the Amazon one is covered by a Canon USA warranty, while the one from Japan isn't. Maybe the sellers can answer the question.

Thank you for contacting us. As an authorized Canon USA dealer, the equipment will be covered under Canon's standard one year manufacturer's warranty. The price is lower than usual due to a Canon instant rebate on this camera body/two lens combination which expires this Saturday 11/2.

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

This is a question suited for the vendor. It seems this vendor is U.S.-based and ships through Amazon, so it is a good bet that it is a U.S. product with Panasonic USA warranty. Some "grey market" items, while genuine products, may not come with a USA warranty but an "international" warranty of some sort which may require shipping overseas in the event of a warranty claim. Check with the vendor to get a definite answer.

"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:

I just received mine today and this is a "white box" lens. It doesn't come in standard retail packaging (just a white box) but it does come with a USA warranty card inside and I was able to register the lens's serial number on Canon's warranty site. Probably this was originally a kit lens for a 5D Mark III. Amazon ought to note this in the product listing.

This is a grey market item. Canon will not offer any warenty. I have one and have had no issue with the lens for a year.
