as i understand grey market it is a sale without the backing of the original company. in this case tokina. this looks legit to me and all warranties should apply.

I'm really not sure what that is but I absolutely love this lens! Manual focus is better than auto for extreme close up macro and I have taken some gorgeous pictures being an amateur. The hairs of a spider or in focus and the eyes of a grasshopper almost pop of the page. I cannot say how happy I am I made the leap and purchased this lens.

This depends upon the actual supplier/seller. Some sources, selling through Amazon, may offer "grey market" product. This is normally noted in the item description, as is a "USA Warranty". Be sure to read the item description/features closely. If nothing is said, call the vendor. Even large suppliers like B&H and Adorama can offer both versions.

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.

Honestly, there are some available on ebay with buyer protection (but I understand why you would want to get it from the above places instead). The 70-200mm is a great lens, but if you have your heart set on this particular lens you should wait to get this one :)I just ordered one from ebay but I did my research on the seller first.

Mine does not appear to be gray market. It was however shipped in a box for the body and lens kit with the lens removed. That is it appeared to be a package that was broken up and sold sepatately.

Not that I know of. It was sent from Focus Camera in an opened package, but all warranty documentation was present, indicating that it is was a grey market lens.

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!

Mine also came in a white box but the box was labeled grey market and no warranty card was enclosed. It was purchased direct from Amazon. I called Canon and was told they will not provide any warranty for a grey market lens.

Admittedly I don't know what the market is, but if I were you I'd be looking for E mount lenses over using alpha mount w/adapter.

Hi Christy, I am firm on the price. I am having a hard time parting with this lens. -- Ralph

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

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.

Mine did but it was not a gray market item, so you need to make sure of that and check expiration of rebate. I purchased mine in July so you need to check website to see if there are any stipulations or dates to be observed...enjoy..it is a great lens for the money.

It is not a grey market product. I had a grey market reproduction. You don't save any money as they don't last. I ended up getting this one to replace the cheaper one
