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.

We do not sell any gray market or parallel import products and would not advertise an item in a misleading way. Our items are sold exactly as advertised. We are Authorized Dealers and sell the exact same camera in our store. We are a retail store (one location-not a chain) and have been in business for over 20 years. You can check out our references on the web and at Better Business Bureau Online http://www.bbbonline.com A gray market camera is a camera that is manufactured to be sold in the European or Asian market. Some dealers will import them and sell them in the USA but they are NOT covered under ANY warranty or USA rebate and they are not made to the proper USA specifications. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration!

"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:

Amazon says that all Nikkor lenses they themselves sell are Nikon USA lenses, i.e. imported by Nikon USA for sale in the USA. But if the lens is sold by a third party, you have to be careful - ask questions of the retailer if it's not clear from the offer whether it's Nikon USA or not. Only lenses imported by Nikon USA will be covered by the Nikon USA warranty. Also, Nikon USA service centers will not service grey market lenses (i.e. lenses not imported by Nikon USA) at all!

Often you will see (import) or (Grey Market). What this means is that while the product is still made by Canon, it was not intended for sale in the U.S market and will not be covered by Canon's U.S.A. warranty.

I received a USA lens, I know because I registered it with the manufacturer. You can check if it is imported or USA by contacting the manufacturer with the serial number at this page: http://www.tamron-usa.com/lenses/gray_market.php Hope this helps!

Both my lenses are an off white or grayish and were bought from a reputable seller, B and H Photo. Don't worry about the color and purchase your lens from an honest seller. An honest seller will be upfront about selling grey market lenses.

Ryan...not sure what US model means. All I can tell you it came in a Nikon box no sign of grey market.

A White Box lens is not Grey Market. In fact Grey Market lenses will typically be in Canon Boxes just like USA lenses. The white box lenses are pulled from camera kits. For example a store might get a 5DIII kit with the 24-105 lens and then take out the lens to sell both items separately. If the original kit was a USA kit then the white box lens from it will be covered under USA warranty as well.You can always contact the seller through amazon and ask them if it is a USA version with USA warranty. If they tell you it is then you should be fine. If a seller misrepresents the item in any way, Amazon always takes buyer's side and makes sure you get your money back.

Thank you for contacting us. As an authorized Canon dealer, we only sell USA models. We would never sell gray-market or imported equipment to our customers!

We do not sell any grey market merchandise. The camera is brand new from Nikon USA and it comes with a full one year warranty from Nikon USA.

It was USA but I don't remember the warranty details as I returned the lens.

E: Thanks for the reply. I also wrote Amazon, and they told me: "Many of the items listed on our website are covered by a manufacturer's warranty. This information should be listed in the owner's manual for the product." I explained what gray market meant in my inquiry, but obviously they don't get it at all. The price is so low that I assumed it was gray market. I agree with you--I would never buy a Nikon product from anyone other than Amazon directly.

Yes to everything if bought new. The one I bought was a US lens with the 5 year warranty. The only difference between a gray market and a US lens is the warranty. 1 year and must be shipped to overseas repair center vs 5 yr US warranty at any repair center in the US.

For one, check the warranty .... grey market lenses may not offer a suitable warranty.
