Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro

Ok Im not sure if the guy was trying to make a sale by feeding me BS but I went to a local camera store and as they only had Canon lenses for Canon cameras I asked about Sigma and Tamron and they told me that some where in the warranty is that only Canon lenses can be used on Canon cameras and if a third party lens is used the warranty is immediately void!!??

I haven't found anything to support that yet but can anyone shed any light on this?

I'm forced in to getting a much cheaper lens than first anticipated due to unforscene circumstances and Ill just leave it at that. Anyway I was thinking of a Sigma lens but if theres a chance that its going to void my warranty then its back to the drawing board...

Thanks in advance,

That's the biggest load of BS I've ever heard.

To be safe, you should call Canon's 800# and ask - their customer service is pretty good. But.... sounds like total bullshit to me.
