Feeler: Canon 28-135mm IS Lens

[twomiracles]

It's this one:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._28_135mm.html

I have the lens, box, packaging, manual, a lens hood and two filters:

Hoya Polarizing and Hoya UV

I bought the whole package used and just haven't used it enough to justify the money invested. Most of my shots are taken outdoors and this lens is too heavy and too expensive to carry around on a 4-wheeler so I never take it. I think I've used it less than five times since I bought it.

Anyone interested?

Yes, that is the one, but that doesn't specify if it's a import or US made. Mine is the import version.

What's the difference?

[twomiracles]

I dunno, just thought I should mention it. They both sell for the same price at BH Photo.

You have any pictures of your lens to show what shape it is in?

[twomiracles]

Sure. Here are a couple of the whole package and a couple of the lens itself.

Sorry they're a bit blurry, I had my 50mm on and was standing on tiptoes :) .

How much were you looking to get for the bundle?

[twomiracles]

Looks like the lens is going for around $300 on ebay, without the filters and lens hood. The filters are marked $36.99 each and the lens hood sells for $26.95 new at BH Photo.

$350, shipped (in the US)?

It does matter if it is grey market or US. Do you know?

[twomiracles]

It does say Made in Japan on the box.

It's mainly about wty support, but it also dictates the price of the product. (more importantly here obviously)

About USA and GREY MARKET (DIRECT IMPORT) Products

What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?
In most cases the difference between a USA import and a Grey Market, or imported product, is the cost of the item and the terms of the item’s warranty coverage. The products themselves are otherwise identical in every way. Occasionally the manufacturer might change a product name of model number to differentiate between products targeted for US distribution and products targeted for distribution elsewhere.

As a rule, Grey Market items cost less than their USA counterparts. The warranty of Grey Market items are often, but not always, the same as their USA counterparts. Specific details of product warranties vary by product and manufacturer.

If you should experience a problem with a product sold with a USA warranty, it can be sent to any of the manufacturer’s worldwide authorized service facilities for servicing. A "direct import" or grey market item would have to be returned to B&H Photo-Video if it required in-warranty attention.

A resident of the USA may wish to make the buying decision based on price since the cost of shipping to a US service center or to B&H should be about equal.

A non-USA resident should consider the cost of returning a product to B&H in New York for servicing as opposed to the cost of taking the product to a local warranty service center.

At BH, it's only a ten dollar difference new, same price used:

No I mean price here. If we can't send it back to Canon it will obviously be worth less, which is why it is important to know if it is Grey Market or not. :)

lenses wether imported or not, are covered under canons international warranty. The only product from canon you have to watch when buying is the SLR body b/c those are specific to the regions you buy them in and the warranties for them.
