What about the world-wide guarantee that you get with new equipment? For example, the Sigma 18-250 I just bought in Oz has a guarantee that says I can take it to any authorised Sigma dealer. Surely that stands irrespective of how I imported it?
It's covered. Sigma UK are a law unto themselves. Bit like an Acer laptop, it IS covered globally.

My Nikon kit is globally covered and Nikon UK are fine with most of it being bought abroad. Most of the situations in the UK are down to monopolization and greed. My Pentax LX's were bought in Kuwait and Saudi.
Both were covered by Pentax Japan "Global Warranty". The Sigma 70-200 I bought in Bahrain has a factory global warranty card.

Greytop? (Sorry couldn't resist having a guess!)

I need to get my mitts on some of those screen protectors. The rear lcd seems so vulnerable.
That would not be a surprise....

My Minolta 24-105mm is 62mm.

Nikkor std small filter size is 52mm so plenty of choices for quality filters.

WRT Pentax filters, back in 93, I was rummaging through a Friday morning market in Ruwi, Oman. There on the floor, was a tatty cardboard box full of Pentax filters and adapter rings! The filter boxes were also tatty but the plastic cases were fine. Mainly B&W filters buy also a lot of daylight filters. Most important for me were the sizes for the 200mm f/2.5

After a quick barter, I secured the lot for Omani Riyals 20 (about 35 quid).

And they say that there were never "good old days"!

I made the journey to Fremantle cemetery today to locate a remembrance seat dedicated to my uncle.

I vaguely remember him before he left the UK for Australia with his young family. Took over an hour walking round before I found the seat.

Like too many, he went too young.
