I've just noticed this:
//www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/12039/Digital_SLR_Interchangeable_Lenses_for_Canon.html
The same lense has two versions, one "usa" the other "imported". The Usa version is slightly more expensive. I'm just curious what might be the catch and where's the actual difference!>? |

| I think the the difference is in the warranty, I don't think Canon USA will honor the gray market warranty, you might have to send it to service center outside of the US. |

If you click on the links by the lenses you will get more info but yes, its basically the the same as Trevor says and the warranty...
If you should experience a problem with a product sold with a USA warranty, it can be sent to any of the manufacturer̢۪s worldwide authorized service facilities for servicing. A "direct import" or grey market item would have to be returned to B&H Photo-Video if it required in-warranty attention.
A resident of the USA may wish to make the buying decision based on price since the cost of shipping to a US service center or to B&H should be about equal.
A non-USA resident should consider the cost of returning a product to B&H in New York for servicing as opposed to the cost of taking the product to a local warranty service center. |

| Oh yes, great, thanks. I guess I didn't pay enough attention. |
