Question: Question about Canon L lenses What is the difference between the Imported version and USA version?

I’m looking to buy a 17-40mm Canon L lens from B&H and i saw that the imported ones are cheaper.

What is the main difference between the two? Where is the imported one made in? japan? And also the USA version is made in USA?

and also, Canon L 17-40 is the range i want. Any other lenses that can replace that lens on my camera instead of having to spend $750? thanks

Answer: Josh,
I think I can help you out because I live in China. First of all all Canon lenses are made in Japan because Canon is a Japanese company. But when the Canon manufacturer sells their lenses, other people (i.e. B&H..41st photo.etc.etc.) can buy their lenses direct from Canon Japan (which by the way is not the same as Canon USA). When Canon USA gets/buys these lenses from the Canon manufacturer in Japan they then have their own process of checking out the equipment to make sure everything is working properly, henceforth the 1 year gurantee warranty service. This is what you are paying extra for with the USA warranty. And it’s worth every penny !
But if B&H or anyone else buys directly from Canon Japan they don’t have to check out the equipment they are getting and can just sell you the equipment as is with the “international” warranty” which comes with the camera (when they buy it from Japan). This is what they called “grey market” equipment.
The problem here is that you don’t know where or how that particular equipment has been treated. Someone could of dropped the camera (have you ever seen how UPS guys handle merchandise inside the warehouses ???????…it’s not pretty…ha ha ha) or it could been sitting in a warehouse for a long time in less than ideal temperatures for storage before it is sold.

The bottom line is that you really don’t know what your getting quality wise when you buy grey market equipment. It make look fine on the outside and it is the “real” deal from Canon but you just don’t know how the equipment has been treated before you buy it.

For the most part i think the equipment will be okay but it’s a risk you take and I think the international warranties are only good for 3 months (don’t quote me on that though because I am not sure).
I live in Beiijg, China and every other camera store looks like a Canon “Authorized Dealer”. Yes they are “authorized” to see Canon equipment because they have bought the equipment from Japan. But it is also equipment which has only a international warranty…i.e. I can only get it serviced in Asia or Europe but not the United States. I am not sure how international warranties work in the U.S.

The bottom line is that it’ really worth it in the long run and short run to pay for a camera with a USA warranty. I have bought international warranty stuff with mixed results where as I have never ever had a problem with Canon USA equipment. I am a professinal photographer and have been buying camera equipment for a long time . You may think you are saving money in the beginning if you buy a grey market camera, but in the long run you may end up paying a lot more in terms of time and money if the camera has problems…….

Buy the way the Canon 17-40 is a really really great lense and one of the best deals around particularly at the USA warranty price. If I were you I wouldn’t waste my money on anything else but the USA version and I would get this lens as soon as possible before they decide to discontinue it.

Question: I have a very old telescope was given to me, how can I tell what brand it is?

I got a very large telescope for a Online neighbor a couple of years ago, no instructions with it and has many parts to it, I'm not sure how to put it together and am looking for an instruction manual. It seems that a brand name is everywhere. It is white and about 6 feet long and is made in Japan and the size of the lens in it, but nothing more. Help? The problem is that there are no markings on it that is not made in Japan and AE 43mm. The lens is at the end with a viewfinder on top. It seems very expensive for the time (which came in a wooden box and weighs a little. I imagine it is at least 50 years of age or older.
