Buying Tamron Lens in Hong Kong

[Nicolas]

Does Tamron Lens in Hong Kong comes with International Warranty? If I buy from shops like Wing Shing or Man Shing, will I get the Tamron International Warranty? Does anyone know?

I talked to the Tamron local distributor before, Tithes Marketing, and what they told me is that if you get it locally, it has the 1 year international warranty + 2 years more warranty from Tithes Marketing (you need to register with them your purchase). However, if you get from abroad, the 1 year international warranty is still honored with a receipt produced, but no extra 2 years warranty. They know the difference because the warranty card of local sets have Tithes Marketing printed on them. Grey sets that do not have Tithes Marketing printed on the warranty card is treated as a set from overseas, and valid only with 1 year warranty with receipt produced.
