[QUOTE="aroy, post: 308928, member: 16090"] The Nikon lenses are made at many locations, the main ones are in Japan, Thailand and China. All Nikon lenses carry one year International warranty. What is different is the extended warranty. This is given by the Nikon National Distributor and not by the manufacturer. The extended warranty varies. As far as I could make out it varies from 1 year in India all the way to 5 years (on some lenses) in US. So if there is repair required within the first year, you may get it repaired any where, but after the first year it has to be done in the country where it was bought. Normally for lower cost lense, say upto $200, I would not bother and use the cheapest option, but for lenses costing above $2,000, where repairs can be expensive it is best to buy in your own country. Of course if you are stuck without warranty service, you can always send it to Taiwan (as one member has done) and get it repaired at a reasonable rate. [/QUOTE]
