What is an American Version ?

When browsing in Ebay through the lens section, quite often the statement : "American Version" appears behind the description. What does this mean?

It probably means it's much bigger than a 'normal' lens

Seriously, I have no idea.

I suppose it depends what the item is. In relation to a camera, it might mean a different power lead for the charger at least.
Best regards, John

It means that it has a stetson instead of a lens hood, the camera body is a colour match for one of their "loud" shirts, the camera strap resembles a pair of Rupert Bear trousers, and every time you press a button, it has an audible warning that loudly announces "Ah'm from the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, boy!!" in a Deep South accent!!

must be something that is either a gas guzzler or never heard of metric system
seriously i haven't seen anything like that on ebay, except canon cameras which are nicknamed Rebel(US version) or EOS(Europe)

I think it's the 'American version' of Ebay (i.e. Ebay.com) rather than a US version of the lens.

it's probably loud, obnoxious and narcissistic, but self deluded and thinks everybody hates it because it's special?
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

I've never seen it, but it may just mean it's a grey import...

Radio modules for flash guns and meters use a different frequency band.

what it doesn't know is that we do hate it because it's 'special'
