    Default Nikon Warranty USA/CANADA

    Hi nikon shooters,

    I realize if i buy a Nikon lens in US that I cannot get it repaired in canada under warranty and vice versa.

    BUT - If I buy a lens while in the US, can I still send it to the USA and get it repaired there under warranty even though I live in Canada?

    I would guess the answer is yes but I'd like to be real sure just in case I ever have the opportunity.
    thx - Marko

    that's an excellent question. I would send an e-mail to Nikon directly and ask them.

    If I were you, I'd buy it in Canada. Warrenty on SLR lenses is 5 years in Canada as opposed to only 1 year in the US. Here's a link explaning all the warrenty rules per brand....

    AFAIK you can send it into Nikon USA and they should be okay with that. Pardon my nosey nature, but I hope it's not your D700 that needs work?

    nope - just a general question.
    Aside from it hurting my hand , I'm loving the D700 which I bought in Canada.
