What is the warranty period on this lens? It appears that Olympus does not like to publish their warranty coverage.

Per their warranty card, it's one year from purchase date. Hope this helps.

cant answer as I don't have original paperwork any more but here in Australia I would assume 12 months and from my experience with my EM5 they are extremely quick to fix any warranty claim and I can't speak more highly.Having said that I'm not sure how this lens would cope with a warranty as it was bought overseas.

One Year. Olympus is very good with their support as well. Generally very fast turn around times.

I don't bother with warranties, generally. They are more hassel than benefit. Olympus lenses are well made. In over 30 years of using numerous film and digital Olympus lenses, I have never had a bad lens. I've owned the 17 mm f1.8, for over a year, and it works flawlessly.

Hi this is Anthony from BisonPro. Thanks for the inquiry. The warranty is 2 years replacement. So if you have any issues for example moisture behind the lens or dead LEDs, just send it to our return address in your country and we will replace it with a new 1.

Yes, this one is a new lens and the seller is very courteous and responsive. Regarding warranty, I thankfully haven't had a situation to get into those conversations.

My Sigma 1.4 lens isn't focusing properly. Purchased it Oct.9th. Won't focus past 6 feet. I have to send it to Markam Ontario for repairs. And it will cost me for repairs. No warranty?????

It is a great lens, but there are no markings to indicate country of origin. Since Olympus has 30 manufacturing locations world wide, I don't know how to determine this.

Yes, if this lens is bought new and is not "grey market". Grey market meaning that if this lens was originally sold in Europe and it found its way into the USA or to any other country then no it will not get the warranty.

I called Panasonic America about the warranty on an item purchased in Japan and they responded that the warranty is world wide. If the lens fails duirng the warranty period, the item will be serviced in the USA. By the way, the image quality of photos taken on my Olympus WM-5 using this lens is very high. It is an excellent lens.

Jenni -I did file a complaint with Olympus and with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). A letter from the BBB came in last week - Olympus has NOT responded to two separate requests from the BBB. If they do not reply to the third, it will be a stike against Olympus - which does not look good to customers.In addition - if your camera is only 27 days old, I suggest to try to get it exchanged at the store you bought it at. If not, be sure to call Olympus. If you get no results, ask to file a complaint. They should assign you a case number - and a corporate rep will call you back. Good luck!

It depends on where the seller is located, I think. When I buy from Amazon, I get a USA warranty. But if I bought from a seller located in Japan, then I would get a warranty good from Japan. Try contacting Olympus America to see if they back up products purchased with a 'foreign' warranty. Sometimes sellers in Asia offer to provide an international warranty for a sum of money extra. You can also quiz the seller.

This is a new lense I got. As far as the warranty I don't have an answer for that. My lense has been working perfect.

Don't know. Reading the other comments, it seems it's lacking warranty. Maybe. Mine came with box, literature, lens hood and front and rear caps. I got it a few days before a trip to Europe and it worked perfectly. Got detailed shots of the Parthenon, inside several cathedrals, landscapes and bell towers. In more than four decades since buying my first SLR (an Olympus OM-1) I've never had a problem with a lens (well, except for dropping an EOS lens on the pavement that one time in the 90s). My experience is they either work or they don't. And this one does magnificently. Even my SLR/tech snob buddies are impressed. Highly recommended! Don't know.

Yes, I just verified this by checking my owner's manual. (If you drop the camera and it breaks, that is not covered for free, for example.) But Olympus guarantees the camera will be free from manufacturer defects; otherwise, they will fix it for a year from the purchase date. You need to register your camera with the CD that comes in the camera box - this is important to do for the warranty. As a side note, I had to send one of my Olympus cameras in for a repair - which I caused by accidentally dropping the camera - and the Olympus service department is first rate. It was a very easy process, including the payment which Olympus accurately estimates for you prior to sending in your camera. The service time was extremely quick, too. Olympus also guarantees their repair for a time period, which is nice.

I don't remember seeing anything concerning a 6-year warranty, but I probably overlooked it - I often do that. I have not offered the lens for sale. In fact, I haven't even used it yet, so I don't know what it will do. OK?

Don't know about the warranty. I have 10 of the around my commercial building that I installed a year ago. One of them started flashing after about 2 months so I purchased 3 more, one replacement and two as spares. They all still work well. Top tip...before installing outside remove the lens seal and use clear silicone to seal it, much more reliable.

Same thing happened to me, twice. The first one was replaced under warranty, the second one did the Same problem for me "Zoom Error" and the warranty ran out after the store replaced the first one for the same issue. Internet search has many posts from consumers that are having the same problem. Cannot send for repair to Olympus, no parts. Probably because it was a "lemon". I rarely write reviews but I am not a happy camper spending my money on junk! Also, we rarely used either one of them. It was purchased to take pics of the grandchildren. Olympus is getting back to me w/some kind of discount coupon/code to use towards another purchase. They want the receipt submitted, hope you still have yours. Same thing happened to me, twice.
