Huh? Film? Nobody can repair film anyway. You may be able to get a refund if film is damaged in shipping, but in 50+ years in photography I have never seen "We Repair Film". This must be sarcasm.


B&H do sell gray market film and it said that gray market film were not made in USA. I think it's possible to have film made in the USA and yet it's gray market because it's not intended for the USA market.

I purchased a brand new grey market lens from B&H. They made me aware Nikon would not repair it but I had to ask first. I did buy a 3year aftermarket warranty from B&H. Now the three years is up where do I take it?


A camera/lens repair center of your choice. Google your question as regards to location and dependability and put your big boy pants on.

Does Nikon make the gray market lens?? If it does, why wouldn't they repair it. If they don't make it, who does??


My understanding is they do make the product. The money generated from US sales goes to offset the US warranty costs. The product sold in other markets do not.

We `re discussing me to be in a small group on a " Drive 3-4 mnths. thru` USA project " in a Winnebago, so I`m looking at options and the Nikon (non)repair saga does not sound good , I`m not concerned about my D3S / X camera`s , but I recently aquired a PC-E 24f3.5 , which has electric aperture , it is virtually brand new...has n`t been put thru` its paces yet , hence my concerns .
