I am leaving a 1 star review because I think that buyers should know that these lenses are NOT manufactured for the US market and therefore do NOT come with a Nikon extended 4 year warranty.When my lens came without the warranty card, I called the company and was told it must be "lost" and I would have to return the lens and order another. So I called Nikon who checked the serial number of my lens and said it is not even in their system. They said unless the lens is sold by an authorized dealer, they will not warranty it. Buyer beware.
