[QUOTE="Spottydumplings, post: 503122, member: 39844"] I think that what the supplier was describing was what is known as a "Grey Import"; this is an item that has been imported into the country via a route other than the official distributor. It will be a genuine Nikon flashgun, of exactly the same quality, but unofficially imported from another country, say Hong Kong, where it is cheaper to buy (either because of differences in tax or due to exchange rates). The difference from an officially imported device is that it will not be covered by Nikon warranty and they will not fix it if it goes wrong; however, the supplier may provide their own warranty that is as good or better than Nikon's.
