Interesting.
Buying gray-market camera equipment has always been a bit of a sticky subject and if a recent report is anything to go by, it could become even stickier. According to Nikon Hong Kong has announced an administration-fee charge for gray market repairs or maintenance, as high as HK$5,000 (roughly $638 / £473 / AU$890), and that’s in addition to the necessary repair/maintenance costs. The worry for gray-market buyers, or prospective buyers elsewhere, is whether or not this policy will one day expand to other regions.
Doesnt affect me ive bought everything except camera back pack which was second hand and lightning triggers elsewhere but all my gear from bricks and mortar family owned camera store. Get a corporate discount last two years kinda loyalty discount.
But I digress one company does the above they will all follow
