Originally posted by rawr Just FYI, my 18-135 WR arrived today via Fedex from pentaxwebstore.sg. Packaged reasonably well, with literally miles of adhesive tape around it, and adequately protected against shock and box damage. Came with a useful sticker on it too: "FRAGILE - Please do not throw".
Even though it is an unbox item, lens is pristine and came with an operating manual, serial number card and a warranty card from Emjay that offers 6 months international warranty or 12 months local (presumably Singapore) warranty. The warranty card needs to be sent back to Emjay in SG 'within 14 days from the date of purchase' but for international orders this seems somewhat unreasonable. I trust they will be flexible about that timeframe.
The lens itself is very nice. Focus is so quiet! No optical or focus problems that I can detect.
Congratulations!
6 months
international warranty included? that's pretty cool!
Does it mean we don't have to send it back to Singapore in rare case the lens doen't work properly within 6 month?
(get 6 months warranty in buyer's country?)
btw, which area are you located? did you get the extra bill from the FedEx driver, such as the brokerage fee and duty fee, etc?
