[QUOTE="Wolfeye, post: 503123, member: 29166"] Things that are labeled "gray market" are genuine Nikon products, but they do not come with a Nikon USA warranty. Typically, the store you buy them from becomes the warrantor, and you have to deal directly with them if something goes wrong because Nikon USA won't touch it, at least not as a warranty claim -they'll gladly fix it for a fee. I have a YongNuo flash, a non-TTL manual one, and it's ok. Seems fairly well built. One of the real issues with most of the Chinese copies is that their instructions are oft written in Chinglish. If you speaka dat, you have no problem. :) The people here who have recommended the non-Nikon option are all experienced shooters. [/QUOTE]
