OF DURATION OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE. NO OTHER EXPRESS
WARRANTY OR GUARANTY EXCEPT AS STATED ABOVE, GIVEN BY ANY PERSON,
FIRM OR CORPORATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS LENS SHALL BE BINDING TO
TAMRON. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN

YOU. NEITHER TAMRON NOR ANY OTHER PERSON, FIRM OR CORPORATION IS OR

Warranty Claim Instruction:
While the lens is under the term of this warranty, if you have a claim, please return the lens to the
dealer where you purchased it. If that is not possible, return it to Tamron USA, Inc., New York.
Include with the lens proof of purchase from an authorized Tamron dealer (valid proof of
purchase must be a dated bill of sale that includes price, model and serial number of lens and/or
warranty registration ID number assigned upon completion of Tamron’s Online Warranty
Registration at www.tamron-usa.com) and a description of the defect claimed. If you have an
online warranty registration ID number, please include that number in your description. If
Tamron determines your lens to be defective, we will repair or replace it at NO CHARGE.
If you would like to send in your lens for repair service, please include the “equipment repair
form”, and also include a copy of your sales receipt or your warranty confirmation number. If we
determine that the warranty has been voided, we will notify you and give you a cost estimate.
Please DO NOT include filters, hoods, or other accessories besides the front cap & rear cap.
Please do not send your product box. Instead, we recommend wrapping your lens very well in
several layers of bubble wrap so that it fits tightly and securely in your shipping box. You are
responsible for the cost of shipping the lens to us for service, and we will cover the cost of
returning the lens to you within the United States (we are not responsible for international
shipping charges, duties, fees, etc.).
The Risk of Purchasing Gray Market Products:
In looking for our products, you may find that products not supplied through our regular channel
are sold in your market. Such products are generally called “gray-market products” and
may involve quality problems.
Interchangeable lenses are precision optical and mechanical products. Therefore, if handling
during transportation or storage is not adequate, defects or malfunctions may occur. As for our
products supplied through our regular distribution channel, meticulous care is taken in
transportation and storage in order to ensure quality protection. However, in the case of gray-
market products, it is more likely that they are handled inadequately during transportation or
storage; are exposed to undesirable conditions such as high temperatures, vibration, shock, high
humidity, dust, dirt and so on; or that they have been mixed up with used products since they are
not under our strict control. Therefore, we are unable to warrant the quality of gray-market
products.
