Its on board.
I bought my D700 in the UK at RGB.
My lenses were bought abroad at roughly 2/3 the UK price and have global warranty.
When I bought the body, RGB were the cheapest UK retailer of the D700 body.

Most welcome from a POM in Perth (just) and look out for the undercover FF & Nikon users but beware those who actually drink Fosters.Welcome to the friendliest forum on the web (unless the topic is FF, moving to other brands,..:lol

Red & Green should never be seen, except in a good image.
It's well presented but I doubt you will get away with a Canon image regardless of lens up front hence I did not post a bucketful of D700 images taken with Pentax glass.
Best of luck.

Good luck... but I'd suspect if anyone got grumpy with them about "worldwide warrantees" which actually mean "return to country of origin", they will just turn round, laugh, and ask you where you expect to be able to sue them - the UN?
I've got nothing against grey importing lenses - but you have to add the potential cost of paying for a repair into the price, if it still ends up cheaper than buying locally, then do it. Otherwise its not worth it for a marginal saving...
70% plus of my kit is grey or foreign sourced. To date, nothing has gone boobs up. As I said previously, my Nikon kit IS covered world wide. Maybe Pentax UK wont accept this and yet charge premium prices compared to the USA and Middle East. Odd world we live in. Some benefit, some don't.Good luck... but I'd suspect if anyone got grumpy with them about "worldwide warrantees" which actually mean "return to country of origin", they will just turn round, laugh, and ask you where you expect to be able to sue them - the UN?

Good grief Stefan! Let them get the boring black version out first .
Back in the good old days, one was fortunate, nay wealthy, to afford a black ME Super or MX. Good grief Stefan! Let them get the boring black version out first .
Stefan does have a point. At this juncture, Pentax would benefit from a smidgeon of retro. Instead of all the old grumpy males buying F1 Jap motorcycles or Harley's, they could buy a Pentax retro look digi.

I'll have to look into this: technically, I imported the lens into Qatar, which has a 4% import duty (which I didn't pay ).
I can't find anything on the guarantee that says it is conditional on proof of payment of import duty. Surely if I needed it fixed in the UK, as I live abroad, I am not importing it into the UK anyway?
Hopefully I'll never need to use the guarantee, but I would be a bit p%^**ed off if I couldn't get it fixed under warranty should the need arise.
It does not have to be imported. Sigma UK are being clever. Just send an email to Sigma in Japan. Tell them what your job is and ask them to confirm that the lens is covered globally. It will be.I'll have to look into this: technically, I imported the lens into Qatar, which has a 4% import duty (which I didn't pay ).
