International warranty for Sigma/Tokina/Tamron lenses bought in HK?

[trd2970]

Thinking of grabbing a Sigma lens while in HK next week. Anyone know if there is an international warranty for third party lenses like Sigma? Also, I think the warranty given if purchased in Singapore is 3 years or something, is it the same also in HK?

Appreciate your response...thanks and have a great weekend ahead!

pal,
if i'm not wrong, most of the camera shops i shopped in mongkok, samsuipo, kowlong, the lens they are selling are "water goods", meaning grey items.. even if inside the box got international warrenty, u have to ask the shop whether the item is covered by shop warrenty or international warrenty, most of the times are shop warrenty(1 year)... but they are definately a few hundred cheaper than singapore price, if u are willing to take the risk then u really have to test the lens well over at the shop.
